In the volcanic town of Le Puy in the Haute-Loire, an English widow and her daughters stay at the hotel, where a polite Frenchman, Monsieur Lacordaire, pays careful attention. An excursion to the rock and the ruined château of the Polignacs gives him his chance, though the question of who exactly he is becomes awkward.
A gently comic Trollope story of English travellers in France, perfect for a short read. Download the free EPUB.
