From the salons to the streets, from the cafes to the stench of prison, Cosette is the sequel to Victor Hugo's classic, Les Misérables. Continuing the story two months after the death of Jean Valjean, François Cérésa has written an exciting, intriguing and convincing novel of France in the turbulent times of the July Monarchy.
Valjean's daughter Cosette, now eighteen, has married her beloved Marius and is blissfully happy. But Cosette's new-found contentment is soon threatened by her husband's close association with Amédée, under whose influence he evolves from a loving husband into an uncaring adulterer. While Marius plunges deeper into the underworld of Paris, Cosette turns to the mysterious Verjat for solace.
A plot hatched during Mardi Gras ultimately sees Marius deported to the penal colony Valjean had been condemned to years before. Cosette is distraught, believing her errant husband dead, but her friend Verjat, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Inspector Javert, embarks upon a quest for the truth- and his own redemption...
Characters, including Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo himself, criss-cross and encounter each other anew in this powerfully atmospheric novel. An instant best-seller in Europe, Cosette brilliantly takes up the story where Hugo left it. Teeming with life, wit and period detail, François Cérésa has written a novel that not only appeals to lovers of historical fiction, but also to fans of the popular stage musical.
