Summary "L'Abbe Constantin — Volume 2" by Ludovic Halévy is a novel written during the late 19th century, likely in the context of the post-Victorian era.

Meanwhile, the Abbe Constantin, a kind-hearted priest, embarks on a charitable endeavor, distributing his newfound wealth to the needy, reflecting his commitment to community support. As the plot unfolds, the sisters adjust to their new life in Paris, where they face not only admiration for their beauty but also the pressures of societal expectations and potential suitors.
