In Exitu Israel: An Historical Novel, Volume 2 (of 2)
1870
A historical novel written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the narrative surrounding Gabrielle, a young peasant girl who embarks on a journey to Paris with the intent of rescuing a woman imprisoned in the Bastille. The story delves into themes of social injustice, class struggles, and the complexities of seeking justice in a corrupt society. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Gabrielle and her companion Madeleine, who is a Parisian flower girl. They engage in a candid discussion about Gabrielle's determination to secure the release of Madame Berthier, who is confined due to mental distress caused by her husband. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the societal tensions of the time, highlighting the exploitation of women and the dire economic conditions faced by the lower classes. Despite the overwhelming challenges and skepticism voiced by Madeleine, Gabrielle’s hopeful conviction leads her to consider seeking an audience with the queen, setting the stage for her quest amidst the growing unrest in Paris.
