Hélène Grandjean vive en París, con su hija Jeanne. Su esposo murió poco después de su llegada a la capital. Hélène es una mujer muy guapa que suscita la admiración de los hombres pero a ella lo único que le importa es su hija, una niña de frágil salud. Una noche en que Jeanne enferma Hélène pide ayuda a su vecino, el doctor Deberle quien salvará posiblemente a la chica de esta noche de angustia, pero se llevará en su corazón la imagen de Hélène. París va a ser el testigo de este amor imposible… Es una novela «menor» en el ciclo de Rougon, un paréntesis después de La Taberna (un gran escándalo) y antes de Nana. Aquí, el protagonista es París. La novela está compuesta por cinco partes que finalizan con una descripción de la gran ciudad, que devuelve al personaje que lo mira su propio estado de ánimo.
