## Snapshot

The valley's first young man and his mother's proudest possession, who commits the unforgivable: falling in love with the orphan her charity took in.

## Who they are

Adolphe Bauche is heir to his mother's riches and reputation, the young man every valley household measures its daughters against. Madame Bauche, seeing only a useful drudge in Marie Clavert, never imagined her son could want the girl—yet the whole valley saw it coming before she did. His choice sets mother against son and exposes how much the family's pride depends on keeping Marie in her place.
