The story revolves around the life of a young woman, named Rose, who, after a series of personal tragedies and challenges, takes a job as a service worker in a Parisian nursery school. The narrative explores themes of aspiration, social class, and the contrast between education and menial work, providing a poignant examination of the struggles faced by women in a changing society. At the start of the novel, Rose reflects on her past and present, grappling with the loss of her fiancé following her father's unexpected death. Left to navigate a harsh reality without financial support, she is forced into a job for which she feels overqualified and undervalued. As she begins her work as a woman of service at the nursery school, she encounters the complexities of the children's lives and the socio-economic environment surrounding them. The opening portions of the book depict her initial experiences at the school, blending her observations of the children with her internal conflict over her identity and worth, highlighting both her sensitivity towards the children's hardships and her struggle against societal expectations.
