Mademoiselle Berthe Bovary, the daughter of deceased parents (Dr. Charles Bovary and Madame Bovary), faces a very difficult life. Raised by a poor aunt and living, at times, on Eugénie Grandet's estate, she eventually moves to Paris with her aunt, Mademoiselle Églantine Rouault, and works in dressmakers' shops and textile factories. However, despite not being beautiful, she is pursued by numerous suitors and ends up in La Santé Prison after defending herself against the abuse of a marquis's son.
During the Franco-Prussian War, she receives a pardon from Emperor Napoleon III, allowing her to be released and rebuild her life. She is even hired for a high-ranking position at the most important textile factory in France. Nevertheless, she and her aunt know that everything is a matter of interest. And when it's discovered that her eldest grandmother, Madame Bovary, left an inheritance, several persons will harass her and be after it, including an illegitimate son of Dr.
Charles Bovary. With France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, the bankruptcy of the major textile factories, and the loss of her job, can Mademoiselle Berthe Bovary rebuild her life and gain access to her inheritance, despite her half-brother's demands? In the end, she'll only have the support of a few lawyers and a nineteen-year-old, inexperienced English investigator...
