The story centers on the Adeline family, particularly Constant Adeline, who is the heir to a long-standing fabric manufacturing business in Elbeuf. It explores the dynamics of family, business, and changing societal values as they navigate the complexities of industry and personal relationships. The beginning of the novel introduces the setting of Elbeuf, particularly focusing on the significance of the Puchot River in the industrial evolution of the town. Readers are introduced to the history of the Adeline family, who have built their fortune on traditional craftsmanship in the fabric industry. Constant Adeline emerges as a respected figure, working diligently in both business and politics. However, the text hints at underlying tensions; Constant’s brother, Jean, has pursued a different path, leading to financial troubles tied to a crisis in the fabric market. The opening portrays a rich tapestry of familial bonds and societal expectations, setting the stage for the challenges the family will face as they strive to maintain their legacy amid shifting economic landscapes.
