The Mischief-Maker

More about the book

Set in a picturesque sanitarium, the narrative unfolds around a girl confined to an invalid chair, surrounded by vibrant flowers and the serene landscape of the Seine and Paris. Despite the beauty of her surroundings, she grapples with her declining health, expressing doubt about her improvement as she feels increasingly weak and tormented by a persistent cough. The visit from a woman offers a momentary distraction, yet the girl's vulnerability and the contrast between her fragile state and the lively setting create a poignant atmosphere.
