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!

Autorenporträt
Georges Ohnet was born in Paris. Ohnet liked Georges Sand's work and didn't like realistic current books. He started writing a series of books called Les Batailles de la vie about a simple and idealistic character. The reviewers thought they were unrealistic and boring, but the books were a big hit. Serge Panine (1881), which won an award from the academy, Le Maitre de forges (1882), La Grande Marni re (1885), Volont (1888), and Dernier Amour (1891) were all in this series. A lot of his books have been turned into plays that were big hits. For example, Le Maitre de forges were put on at the Gymnase in 1883 and ran for a whole year. Le Cr puscule (1902), Le Marchand de Poison (1903), La Conqu rante (1905), La dixi me muse (1906), La Route Rouge (1908), and La Serre de l'Aigle (1912) are some of his later works. Journal of a Bourgeois of Paris During the War of 1914 was his last book.
