Artistic freedom and resistance across two eras
Paula McLain connects Paris in 1664 with the city under German occupation in the 1940s. In the earlier strand, Alouette Voland, daughter of a master dyer at the Gobelin Tapestry Works, dreams of making art beyond the limits of her circumstances; her father’s imprisonment draws her into a struggle for his freedom. The second strand follows a doctor on a dangerous mission during the occupation. These parallel stories bring questions of creative independence, confinement, courage, and resistance into conversation across centuries. The supplied description establishes the two historical threads but ends before detailing how their connection unfolds.
