This novel is set in France and written in the first person. The character, Fabien Jean Jacques Moillard - a barrister, describes how he has the great misfortune one day of dropping a large blot of ink in a library on a precious Folio document. He feels it is almost the start of what has been a very insignificant life so far and begins to keep his memoir from that point.
