"Jean-nu-pieds, Vol. 2" by Albert Delpit is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the Vendée wars during the French Revolution, the narrative pivots around the trials and tribulations of characters such as Fernande and the titular Jean-Nu-Pieds, who grapple with love and loyalty amidst civil strife. The book explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and the complexities of personal vs. historical obligations, particularly within
the rich tapestry of French history. The opening of this volume introduces the modest church in the village of Rassé, where a young woman named Fernande is fervently praying for divine intervention in her troubled love life. She has recently shed her disguise and is desperate for help from the noble Madame, whom she believes holds the key to her happiness. The narrative unfolds through her emotional turmoil, showcasing her plea to God and the quiet support of a mysterious peasant who turns out to be a noble in disguise, revealing deeper connections between the characters.
