Paris, 1814. Napoleon has fallen, foreign armies have entered the city, and a proud nation is forced to watch its conquerors parade through its streets.
Among the crowds is Francia, a spirited young Parisian woman searching for the mother she has lost. When she encounters Prince Mourzakine, a Russian officer who once saved her life during the disastrous retreat from Moscow, gratitude draws her toward a man who now belongs to the occupying enemy.
Their connection crosses every boundary around them-nation, class, loyalty, and politics.
As aristocrats maneuver for advantage in the uncertain world following Napoleon's defeat and ordinary Parisians struggle with humiliation, poverty, and resentment, Francia finds herself caught between personal feeling and devotion to her country.
Set amid the mansions and working-class streets of a divided Paris, Francia is George Sand's powerful historical novel of love, patriotism, political intrigue, and the human cost of conquest.
A vivid portrait of a city in defeat-and of a young woman determined to preserve her dignity in a world being remade around her.
