The narrative unfolds in the context of post-revolutionary France under Napoleon, focusing on the lives of émigrés returning to a homeland they once fled. The story involves key characters such as Madame la Marquise de Mortain, her son Laurent, and relatives like M. le Comte de Courson and his daughter Fernande, all entangled in intrigue, political machinations, and a clash of aristocratic ideals against the backdrop of a changing society. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a plot revolving around the return of the Mortains and the Coursons to France after years of exile due to the Revolution. The narrative describes a meeting between the Emperor Napoleon and his Minister of Police, Fouché, as they discuss the implications of allowing the return of these émigrés. As the story progresses, Madame de Mortain returns to her family's decaying estate, reflecting on the loss and devastation wrought by time and political upheaval. Tension rises as characters scheme and grapple with their identities and loyalties amidst the socio-political landscape of France, setting the stage for the complex relationships and conflicts that will follow.
