Florent Quenu

Political exile, fish inspector

Half-brother of Quenu (Lisa's husband) — thus Lisa's brother-in-law. A gentle idealist and political prisoner who returns from the penal colony of Cayenne to find himself in the suffocating abundance of Les Halles. His Republican idealism is utterly out of place among the comfortable shopkeepers, and Lisa eventually denounces him.
Thin to the point of gauntness, with large dark eyes and the haunted look of a man who has suffered greatly and forgiven everyone.
