Pont-au-Change Volume IV: Honor

In this fourth part of the continuation of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, Hugo learns the details of the lives of the people he would immortalize in his masterwork from the very subjects themselves: while Jean Valjean and Javert fight to return to Europe after being waylaid to Australia, an old enemy returns to wreak havoc on Marius and Cosette's growing family. Meanwhile, the truth about what happened during the last moments of the barricade's fall is revealed, and the ongoing mystery of the woman who owns Hauteville House in Guernsey--the one thing standing in the way of Victor Hugo's acquisition of the place--deepens as her connection to Jean Valjean and Javert becomes both clearer and more obscured.

Volume IV: Honor is the fourth of six novels in the Pont-au-Change series.
