Fletcher brings front-and-center a minor player in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables: Eponine, the Parisian street girl who takes a bullet meant for Marius, the true love of Jean Valjean's ward, Cosette. Sensory details and rich prose vividly reveal setting and character, as Eponine fights to overcome her wretched, sordid upbringing in order to do good.
