| Publisher Description: The story is a realistic and unrelenting description of the fall and degradation of a French working class family living in the slums of Paris during the mid 19th century. Their fate however, is not a simple product of circumstances rather it is the consequence of their choices. This ultimately adds to the tragedy as we wish for their success but instead are forced to watch with growing apprehension as opportunities are wasted and the family spirals downward on a path to disintegration and destruction. |
