This social history explores the lives of the bourgeoisie and provincial society in France during the 18th century through the lives of the Raparlier family, prosperous merchants living in Lomouck, Flanders. The book delves into the lives of parents and children, their loves, disappointments, rivalries, hatreds, and alliances, with the author using the lives of the protagonists to bring the cultural and social norms of the time into sharp relief. The author also enriches the narrative by contrasting the bourgeois characters with those from the aristocracy and the Church, providing a much more nuanced and engaging portrayal of the lives of people in France in the lead up to the French Revolution. In the end, the book offers a deeply evocative portrait both of 18th-century provincial France and the human condition itself.
