The Miller's Daughter is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of love, class, and the struggle for social mobility in 19th century France.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.
