Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, The Miller's Daughter is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the struggle for power and influence in a rapidly changing society.At dawn a clamor of voices shook the mill. Pere Merlier opened the door of Francoise's chamber. She went down into the courtyard, pale and very calm. But there she could not repress a shiver as she saw the corpse of a Prussian soldier stretched out on a cloak beside the well.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
