A novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds within a secluded French-Canadian community against the backdrop of social tensions between British and French interests in Canada, with a focus on the Lavilette family, who are grappling with their fall from grace. The narrative hints at themes of social ambition, family pride, and the complexities of relationships, featuring characters like Madame Lavilette, Nicolas Lavilette, and Tom Ferrol, an English nobleman whose arrival stirs up intrigue and emotional undercurrents. The opening of the book introduces the setting—a quaint and vibrant settlement on the banks of the St. Lawrence River—and paints a rich tapestry of the life and struggles of the Lavilette family, who are attempting to regain their former stature in society. We meet the present head of the Lavilette household, Monsieur Louis Lavilette, who despite their diminished fortune, holds onto a pride that hampers their social interactions. The arrival of Tom Ferrol adds a layer of complexity, as he navigates his own past and dubious connections, while the community remains wary of his status and intentions. The dynamics are set against the backdrop of rising tensions related to social identity and class, evoking a sense of impending conflict that looms over the pastoral serenity.
