Through the eyes of ten-year-old Riquet Nadaud, son of a notary, the story explores the petty rivalries and social maneuvering of provincial bourgeois society in a small Touraine town. When Riquet's father purchases a coveted house with a terrace enclosed by a balustrade, the family faces ostracism from local notables. As adult conflicts swirl around him, the sensitive boy develops his capacity for judgment, experiences first love, and searches for an elusive ideal he struggles to define.
