Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Gustave Caillebotte and Claude Monet. A girl of unfailing kindness is used by every member of the household she is placed in, and the title is not ironic - she means it. Zola put his own terror of death into Lazare, the son of the house, whom she loves. This edition binds fifty-eight plates of painting with the novel, among them works by Monet, Renoir, Aublet and Morisot, and scenes of Varengeville, Étretat and the Seine.
