The Son of Clemenceau, a Novel of Modern Love and Life

The son of the man who wrote The Three Musketeers spent his life writing about the one thing he could never recover: his mother. This novel, born from that wound, weaves a tale of love and survival in 19th-century Munich. A young student wanders the city's twilight streets, drawn to both its grandeur and its poverty. When he witnesses an attempted assault on a young singer, he intervenes, setting in motion a chain of events that entangles him with a mysterious musician, a beggar's daughter, and a dangerous baron. As vengeance and ambition collide with desire, the student must choose between safety and the chaotic heart of the city where poverty and power exist in uneasy tension. This is a novel about what persists when everything has been taken: the drive to live, to love, and to find meaning in the ruins of the old world.
