First edition of Mouhy’s literary masterpiece inspired by real events. A young girl eloped in 1737 from a wealthy family of financiers, with a nobleman of modest means. Mouchy invents a narrative of her adventure from the perspective of the young girl, confined in a convent, while her lover has fled abroad to avoid his sentence of decapitation.
