Synopsis
Three million francs and a web of family loyalties drive a Victorian-era drama about progress, power, and private faith. A tense gathering at the palais Greifmann threads politics, love, and competing visions of modern life.
Set against a backdrop of municipal elections and social upheaval, the story follows a quartet of figures as they argue for or against progress. The stakes bend between public ambition and private conscience, between wealth and responsibility, as characters confront what it means to live now without losing who they are.
What you’ll experience:
- A cast of vividly drawn personalities, including the earnest Seraphin, the calculating Carl, and the guarded Louise, each testing the others’ beliefs about progress and tradition.
- Thoughtful debates on religion, morality, and the role of the majority in shaping society.
- A narrative that blends political intrigue with intimate family tensions and personal loyalties.
- A window into a historical moment where new ideas clash with established norms—and families navigate the fallout.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction that examines power, faith, and the cost of modernity.
