The novel centres around the story of Denise, a young shopgirl from the provinces, and Octave Mouret, the dashing young director of a shopping emporium, who find themselves torn between the conflicting forces of love, loyalty and ambition. Set in the heart of the city, Zola's novel - the eleventh in his Rougon-Macquart series - evokes the giddy pace of Paris's transition into a modern city and the changes in sexual attitudes and class relations taking place during the second half of the nineteenth century.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
