Several Parisian families are followed across centuries, though the central narrative moves between the Belle Époque and the years surrounding the two world wars. Their intertwined lives lead through the construction of the Eiffel Tower, artistic Montmartre, political scandal, occupation and resistance, while earlier episodes reach back to medieval Paris, royal power and revolution. The novel uses changing neighbourhoods and monuments to connect private ambition with the city's repeated reinvention.
