Perrine is thirteen when her father dies in Paris and her mother, gravely ill, sets out with her on a donkey cart toward the north of France — toward the family that disowned her father for marrying an Indian woman. The mother dies on the road. The girl continues alone, on foot, with nothing, to a factory town where a blind and embittered industrialist rules seven thousand workers and does not know he has a granddaughter.
What makes the book remarkable is what Perrine does next. She does not announce herself. She takes work in the mills, sleeps in an abandoned hut she makes habitable with her own hands, feeds herself on what she can catch and gather, and slowly, by being useful and observant and discreet, makes herself indispensable to the old man — while he remains ignorant of who she is.
Published in 1893 as En Famille, this companion to Nobody's Boy is the quieter and in some ways the stronger book: a study of competence and patience rather than rescue. Its heroine survives by intelligence, and the reconciliation it builds toward has to be earned page by page. This is an unabridged recording of a fresh modern translation.
