Description
Andrew Miller's novel Pure is a captivating tale of an extraordinary year in pre-revolutionary Paris. In 1785, the city's oldest cemetery is overflowing, and its presence seems to taint the very breath of those who live nearby. A young engineer, charged by the king with demolishing the cemetery, begins to suspect that destruction may be more than just a task for a modern man of reason. As he delves deeper into the heart of Paris, Baratte starts to uncover secrets and lies that threaten his own existence. This is a story about humanity, history, and the power of the past to shape our present.
