Description: This book, set in 1829 under King Charles X, tells the story of an aristocratic family whose harmonious life is shattered by the sudden death of the young wife of their foreman. The patriarch, a retired general, devastated by the loss, asks his trusted servant to find a suitable husband for his daughter, Pauline, in the hopes that a marriage will heal the family. The servant seeks the help of Godard, a wealthy landowner, to secure a match for Pauline, but she rejects his proposal. In the meantime, the family is visited by Eugene Ramel, a public prosecutor, who arrives to investigate the death of the foreman's wife. The author explores themes of jealousy, social inequality, and the complexities of the human heart through the characters' interactions and the unfolding mystery. By presenting a detailed depiction of family dynamics and social conventions of the time, this book offers insights into love, loss, and the enduring power of secrets.
