Since the fall of Napoleon, the Boussardelle family has lived in one of the luxurious mansions of Paris. The head of the family, Florent Boussardelle, is a selfish, cold-minded stockbroker. Without significant funds, he managed to provide his children and grandchildren with solid financial capital.
A prosperous, respectable family - this is the ceremonial showcase of the Boussardelles' life. But there is also something hidden from view.
Describing the everyday life of his heroes day after day, Philippe Héria generously places skeletons in the closets, which he constantly presents to the reader. The Boussardelles are not angels - they are living people. Illegitimate children, adultery, unsightly actions, misunderstanding and absolute indifference to each other and to human sorrows in general - all this makes up the true life of the family. It is extremely interesting to follow the twists and turns of the heroes’ fates, precisely because Eria, like his predecessor Balzac, paints a genuine human comedy.
