The story sets itself in the tranquil yet complex life of a rural priest, Abbé Marignan, who harbors strong convictions about faith and the nature of women. As the narrative unfolds, themes of love, desire, and moral integrity are woven throughout the priest's interactions, particularly with his charming niece, prompting deep internal conflicts. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Abbé Marignan, a dedicated yet fanatical priest who believes he understands the will of God. He walks through his countryside parish pondering the divine logic behind nature’s order. However, he struggles with conflicting emotions around women, especially as he learns that his niece is romantically involved with someone. This revelation drags him into turmoil, where he grapples with his duties as a guardian and his growing emotional turmoil, all heightened by the enchanting backdrop of a moonlit night that seems to stir deeper sensibilities within him. His inner conflict escalates as he witnesses the fleeting love between his niece and her suitor, challenging his rigid beliefs and finding himself captivated in the process.
