| Summary | "Unawares: A Story of an Old French Town" by Frances Mary Peard is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the quaint town of Charville, the story delves into the intertwined lives of its inhabitants, showcasing their curiosities, gossip, and romantic entanglements surrounding the unfortunate events affecting Monsieur Moreau and his family. The narrative hints at themes of societal dynamics, the quest for information, and personal relationships amid a backdrop of charming old-world scenery. The opening of the story introduces the bustling market atmosphere in Charville, as a group of townsfolk gathers around Madame Angelin—an elderly woman known for her knowledge of local happenings—to discuss a mysterious incident involving the old gentleman, Monsieur Moreau, and the beautiful young demoiselle Therese. As their conversation unfolds, we meet key characters such as the inquisitive townsfolk, the enigmatic Madame Angelin, and the somber doctor M. Deshoulieres, who takes upon himself the unexpected responsibility of managing Affairs after Moreau’s death. As tension rises with each revelation, the vivid portrayal of the town's social fabric establishes an intriguing premise brimming with rumors and unanswered questions surrounding Therese and her future after the passing of her uncle.
