"Diamant noir" by Jean Aicard is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story likely centers on themes of love, loss, betrayal, and the complexities of family relationships, focusing on François Mitry, his young daughter Nora, and the aftermath of the death of François's wife, Thérèse. The narrative follows their emotional struggles as they confront grief and a devastating family secret. The opening of "Diamant noir" immerses readers in the immediate aftermath of Thérèse's death, following François Mitry's insistence that their sensitive eight-year-old daughter, Nora, see her mother one last time. As father and daughter begin to navigate their mourning, François uncovers a bundle of letters revealing that Nora may not be his biological child, but rather the daughter of Lucien Houzelot, Thérèse's former lover. Overwhelmed by grief and jealousy, François's affection for Nora turns to anguish and resentment, resulting in an incident that injures the child and opens a deep rift between them. The narrative closely examines both François's internal turmoil and Nora's growing isolation, softened only by the loyalty of her dog, Jupiter, as the family disintegrates under the weight of secrets, loss, and misunderstood emotions.
