The story revolves around the life of Marie Renaud and her grandmother, who are depicted in a small but warm lodging where they work tirelessly on a baptism dress. It explores themes of love, betrayal, and familial bonds against the backdrop of Parisian life during that era. The opening of the novel introduces us to a poignant scene set in April 1864, where Marie and her grandmother are preparing a baptism dress in their modest attic home, reflecting a deep sense of intimacy and contentment despite the underlying sorrow that looms over them. As they work late into the night, the grandmother's worries for Marie surface, especially concerning a man named Jean Berthier, whom Marie has loved but who appears to have abandoned her. The narrative hints at Marie's deep emotional struggle, which culminates in her decision to seek Jean out, driven by a mix of hope and desperation. This sets the stage for a forthcoming encounter that promises to unravel their lives further against the complexities of love and deception. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
