The narrative weaves around André Lavernose, an archæologist residing in the picturesque town of Argelès, as he navigates the intersections of art, history, and the complexities of personal relationships against a backdrop of natural beauty and provincial life. The opening of the novel introduces us to André Lavernose as he dines with friends at the Hôtel de France in Argelès. A conversation emerges about the origins of local art, specifically a statue of the Virgin Mary. We meet various characters including the genteel Miss Héléna and the General, as they discuss archæological topics, setting the stage for Lavernose's character as an insightful, if somewhat skeptical, thinker. The ambience of the evening hints at the rich experiences of Lavernose's life, punctuated by his reflections on beauty in nature and heritage—foreshadowing the intertwined themes of nostalgia and the quest for identity that will unfold as the story progresses.
