The story revolves around Violette, a young flower girl with a charming background, who navigates her life in Paris. The narrative conveys themes of familial love, social class, and the pursuit of happiness amidst adversity. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the bustling flower market on Boulevard Saint-Martin in Paris. It is here that we meet the Glumeau family—Madame Glumeau and her children, Eolinde and Astianax—who are deliberating over which flowers to buy for the father's fête-day. The passage reveals insights into the dynamics of their family life, particularly through the humorous exchanges between the siblings and their mother. Simultaneously, we are introduced to Violette, the flower girl, whose beauty and grace draw attention as she serves a variety of customers, some of whom show interest in her beyond just the flowers she sells. Her background is gradually uncovered, indicating a poignant backstory of abandonment and resilience, laying the groundwork for her character's development in the narrative.
