But after two years he pushes him to find a new wife. Germain is a young man with three children in need of a mother. Maurice sends him to visit the daughter of a friend who is also widowed and interested in remarrying. Germain reluctantly agrees taking his son and the teenager Mary who is seeking employment. The trip proves to be an eye-opening experience for the duo who form an unexpected bond.</p><p>Similar to Sand's previous work <i>Indiana</i> <i>The Devil's Pool</i> examines the obligations of marriage. The story illustrates how duty and perception take priority over love and kindness. It's a dichotomy that continues to present itself regardless of one's social or political status.</p> <p>With an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset manuscript this edition of <i>The Devil's Pool</i> is both modern and readable.</p>
