Pont-au-Change Series

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.

October 31, 1855. Celebrated author and social champion Victor Hugo, in exile from France, is forced to relocate to the Isle of Guernsey. En route across the Channel, the trunk containing his unfinished masterpiece, Les Misérables, is lost overboard! But fate deals Hugo a strange blow as he begins to recreate the book with the help of the very people he was destined to immortalize, and he discovers what really happened the night the barricades fell, twenty years before--and all that followed afterwards. Volume I: Resurrections is the first of six novels in the Pont-au-Change series.

The second volume in the continuation of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. In 1855, while Victor Hugo continues to write Les Misérables on the Isle of Guernsey, he learns the story of Jean Valjean's continuing journey, taking him and his companion, the former Inspector Javert, from France in 1833 to the London of Dickens; from there the pair are drawn to the walled city of Québec, where awaits another attempted revolution which threatens Jean Valjean and those around him. Meanwhile, Marius and Cosette travel to Montreuil-sur-Mer and discover her history and her legacy.

Victor Hugo continues to write his masterwork Les Misérables while he becomes more and more familiar with the people he will immortalize: Jean Valjean and his family. But not everyone welcomes Hugo's curiosity, especially as Valjean relates to Hugo how he and Javert encountered an old acquaintance and Marius rediscovered something long thought lost to him while struggling to keep his marriage to Cosette from disintegrating. And who is the mysterious Marquis de Montrose, and will he ultimately prove to be a friend or an enemy? The third volume of the Pont-au-Change series.
