Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to the tumultuous Vendà e region of France during the French Revolution, where a fierce civil war erupts between royalist and republican forces. At the heart of the conflict is the Fougeraie family and their crumbling manor, a refuge for the remnants of the old aristocracy and a target for revolutionary fervor. The novel delves into the intricate web of loyalties, betrayals, and secrets that entangle the inhabitants of the manor, painting a vivid portrait of a society torn apart by ideological strife. Amidst the chaos, a traveling peddler, Courtin, finds himself entangled in the family's dangerous secrets when he stumbles upon a hidden infant, the illegitimate child of a forbidden love. As Courtin navigates a perilous journey to deliver the child to its father, the novel explores themes of honor, duty, and the devastating consequences of political and religious extremism. Through its rich historical detail and exploration of the human condition in times of turmoil, this book sheds light on the complexities of a pivotal moment in French history.
