The novel focuses on the two brothers of the Bridau family: Philippe, an ambitious former soldier, and his painter brother. In Issoudun, Flore, nicknamed la rabouilleuse because she muddied the water to make fishing easier, tries to divert an old man's fortune to her lover. Greed and rivalry between brothers drive the plot.
The novel was first published in 1842 under the title Les Deux Frères. It is part of La Comédie humaine and, together with Pierrette and Le Curé de Tours, forms the trilogy of The Bachelors.
