to her circumstances. The opening of the novel introduces a stormy night where Ambroisine anxiously awaits her father, Master Hugonnet, while grappling with the repercussions of her friend Bathilde's recent troubles. After a drunken encounter at home, Ambroisine opens the door to find Bathilde, who has been cast out by her parents for becoming pregnant and is in desperate need of shelter.
