Madeleine finds herself in Paris during the Occupation and gets a job as the maid of a senior figure at the Banque de France. It is a true class and culture shock for a disorientated young woman who is intimidated by the capital (this forest of stones) and all the wealth she sees around her. To get by, she is going to have to learn the customs of this ‘new civilisation’. But she is struck by the contrast between the poverty of the hungry people queuing up for their rations and the opulence of the bourgeoisie, who show off their diamonds beneath the crystal chandeliers while uncorking bottles of champagne. Guided by Madeleine’s acute observations and vivid images, we are inexorably drawn into this novel which packs a genuine emotional punch.
