Key Points

This novel happens to be ridiculously long, so in order to not have too many posts I'm just going to give some brief accounts of what has been happening.

- Javert (a police officer from back home)discovers that Jean Valjean is in fact alive and hiding out with a young girl he alledgly kidnapped

- With Javert hot on their trail, Jean and Cosette run through the French land never staying anywhere too long.

- Cosette is getting an education.
- Javert eventually gives up and much time passes.
- Cosette marries a man named Marius and moves in to the Gillenormand household. This leaves Valjean at a loss. He does not know what to do about the fact that he is no longer with the only person he ever loved.

- Valjean confesses his sins to Marius, who then tries to push him out of Cosette's life.

- Valjean eventually dies.
