Life In A Mirror Summary
| This novel is set in Brittany, in March of 1713. A local seigneur, Jean de Pion, tends his fief tucked away in one of the more isolated areas of the province in much the same manner as his ancestors. A man judged by the higher notables as too much of a dolt for politics, he nevertheless is considered a good and brave chevalier. His isolation from up high is changed when the son of his Baron, Jacques de Tondeur, arrives in a carriage with a guest, a tax farmer named Narquois who has sub-leased the wine duty for the Baron's land. Like most deals of this sort, the marginal parcel, the tranche with the fewest prospects, is the one that is sold to this expatriate Frenchman and Huguenot. Narquois rightly considers himself a progressive sort; de Pion sensibly considers his customs and feif to be eternal and permanent, as his high stature is backed up with a sword he is well trained to wield. [NOTE: This is an adult book.] |
