Normandy in the late nineteenth century. At a country market, the peasant Hauchecorne picks up a small piece of string, and this insignificant act unexpectedly gives rise to serious suspicion. The narrative explores the fragility of reputation, the force of prejudice, and an individual’s helplessness before public opinion. It shows how a minor coincidence can reshape the judgment of an entire community and disturb an ordinary life.
