Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and times of Pierre Noellet, a young man from the rural Vendee region of France during the mid-1800s.

Within this narrative, the author paints a vivid portrait of the landscape, customs, and beliefs of the region, using one family's story to shed light on the significant societal changes of the time. Themes of social class, religious fervor, family legacy, and the dreams of the individual versus those of society are woven throughout the narrative, with careful attention paid to historical detail and authenticity.
