Learning You Again

Feeling isolated due to her recent diagnosis with hysteria, Apolline Rougeaux longs to return home to Paris after being gone for five years to pick up where she left off; a controversial education from her University Professor father, long walks with her impetuous friends, and reconnecting with her oldest playing and debating companion, Julien Enjolras.
But five years is a long time, and a lot has changed in Paris by the time she returns home in 1831. A new king sits on the throne and class unrest stirs like a sleeping storm.
Apolline is planted into a different situation than she imagined it would be. Her friends have deserted her, and she is finding it difficult to regain the close relationship she once had with Enjolras, who, frustratingly, can't seem to shake her from his thoughts.
Trapped inside a body that revolts against her, Apolline is faced with the daunting task of finding her place in this new Paris with the Les Amis, and understanding the forbidden mechanisms of her body during the disturbing, yet pleasurable, treatments she receives for her illness.
