The Revolou family was well-to-do, with a home in Bordeaux and a country house not far from the city. The book opens with a death, by suicide, of the head of the family, who had been a successful lawyer. The resulting scandal- his suicide was caused by a love affair- is heightened by the financial trouble into which his widow and children are thrown." (from the jacket). Seller Inventory # M71714
