Until its eradication in 1709, the Port-Royal des Champs abbey stood as a symbol of independence and the inviolability of conscience against Versailles and the papacy. This historical novel recounts the relentless persecution suffered by the community and the clandestine efforts to preserve its spiritual and intellectual legacy. Through the voices of Françoise de Joncoux and Marie-Catherine Racine, the narrative explores the memory of this mythical place, shaped by figures such as Blaise Pascal and Jean Racine. It is a poignant work that pays tribute to the resistance of the nuns and the preservation of a place of grace that temporal power sought to destroy.
