Description

CROWNED BY THE FRENCH ACADEMY Madame Desvarennes has built her great business in the old mansion on Rue Saint Dominique -- first a bakery, then a flour-milling empire that has made her among the most wealthy and respected business owners in Paris. Everything she has aimed for in life, she has achieved, after having arrived into the world without the least advantage. Yet as she sits at Christmas beside the fire with her husband, she feels desolate and lonely -- for an emptiness has been growing in her . . . and now she sees a vision: a child, crawling near the warmth of the flames! Fate brings her an orphaned child, Jeanne -- and soon thereafter, the wealthy couple are surprised at last by the arrival of their own baby -- another girl, whom they name Michelins. Time passes for the mother and two daughters . . . and into their lives enters a man whose ways will affect all three -- although whether through goodness or villainy, none can agree!

Author Biography:

Georges Ohnet (1848 - 1918) was a French novelist and man of letters. Ohnet was a great reader of public taste. It was this astute understanding of his readership that helped him devise the passionate style he became famous for. He disdained the romantic melodrama motif, choosing instead to explore complex passion. His literary genius lays in being able to introduce originality into a genre so deeply archetypal as the romantic melodrama. It was this quality that made him one of the most widely read writers of his time.
