Set in 1846, on the borders of the Creuse region, this novel tells the story of Sylvestre Chabrol and his wife Angèle. After suffering the devastating consequences of extreme weather that ruins their crops and causes famine, the couple is forced to migrate to Paris in search of a better life. However, upon arriving in the capital, they find themselves in an environment marked by misery, injustice, and social oppression. While Angèle begins a process of personal emancipation, learning to read and actively participating in the social struggles of the time, Sylvestre takes refuge in a painful silence, carrying a secret that prevents him from connecting with the reality of a Paris on the brink of the 1848 revolution.
