This compelling novel explores the twin vices of avarice and anger, illuminating how these cardinal sins shape the lives of its characters. At the heart of the narrative is Mariette, a young girl caught in the throes of poverty and devotion to her godmother, Madame Lacombe. As societal pressures mount, readers witness the profound impact of greed and wrath on personal relationships and moral choices. Ideal for students and civic activists, this work challenges readers to reflect on the ethical dilemmas that persist in contemporary society.
