Valjeans adopted daughter, Cosette, has fallen in love with the young revolutionary Marius, and the lives of all three are in peril unless they can flee to safety.Some of the most significant moments in nineteenth century history form the backdrop for Victor Hugos powerful story, in which love and heroism march in the face of poverty and social injustice.Contact me for any questions: [email protected]
