A Tragic Fiction Novel set in Corsica and Paris during the late 19th to early 20th century.
Immerse yourself in *Broken Promises*, a heart-wrenching tale that traces the intersecting lives of courageous individuals navigating the unrelenting challenges of poverty, societal oppression, and the quest for love and identity. This evocative narrative paints a vivid picture of Corsica's rugged landscape and Paris's rapidly evolving scenery at the turn of the 20th century.
The journey begins with Margot, a resilient young girl entangled in the domestic turmoil of her abusive, alcohol-dependent mother, and the fragile existence of caring for her ailing sister, Cécile. In a home marred by despair and unfulfilled dreams, Margot's torment is compounded by her mother’s bitter reminiscences of lost love and shattered aspirations. Her life takes a pivotal turn upon meeting Monsieur Frossard, a disreputable artist who lures her into the perilous world of modeling with the promise of a better future. Under his manipulative influence, Margot suffers exploitation until a desperate act of self-defense renders him blind, forcing her into a precarious independence.
Margot’s subsequent refuge with the compassionate Mère Tranquille, who owns a local bar, symbolizes a brief respite amidst her struggles. However, the looming threat reemerges in the form of Popol, a menacing local thug. Through the unexpected kindness of Florent Garnier, a devoted carpenter, Margot discovers a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. Simultaneously, Christian's perilous odyssey across Corsica and subsequent adventures in Paris interweave with Margot’s narrative, culminating in a poignant reunion marked by past wounds and the yearning for redemption. Together, their intertwined destinies encapsulate the pursuit of a life redeemed from adversity.
In a reflective epilogue, the story examines the enduring ripples of past struggles. Through the lens of Arthur Ainger’s inquiry, Christian,—now married to Margot and a devoted father—conveys a life transformed by resilience and modest contentment. *Broken Promises* is a powerful testament to the human spirit's unwavering tenacity in the face of life's harshest trials.
