The Bishop!I'm re-reading Les Misérables after 20 years, and providing running commentary. The book opens with Part 1: Fantine...which starts with the Bishop.
Part 2…4601My re-read continues, as the Bishop learns a lesson about nobility, and an ex-con named Jean Valjean has a life-changing experience. 118 pages and counting.
