by Emile Zola
The eighth novel in the Rougon Macquart series and featuring Helene Mouret and her daughter Jeanne. The novel is set around the Passy area of Paris and describes the love affair that Helene has with a neighbour and its disastrous consequences. One of the saddest books but almost Dickensian in its sentimentality at the end. Great depictions of Paris and the childrens ball is great writing 8/10
