Summary "The Money Master, Volume 2" by Gilbert Parker is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. This work appears to delve into the life of Jean Jacques Barbille, a miller and moneylender in the small French-Canadian community of St. Saviour’s, as he navigates personal and social complexities against the backdrop of local intrigues and human emotions. The opening of the novel sets the stage thirteen years after Jean Jacques’ marriage to Carmen, revealing the contrasting dynamics of their relationship and the tensions brewing in their household. Jean Jacques is portrayed as a man of varied undertakings—money-lending, farming, and running mills. As he immerses himself in philosophy, he seems unaware of the emotional distance growing between him and Carmen, who feels increasingly neglected and discontented. The Clerk of the Court and Judge Carcasson reflect on Jean Jacques' character, hinting at possible troubles ahead as they discuss Carmen’s unsteady temperament and the influence of her father on her life. The tension escalates with the introduction of George Masson, a carpenter, who is depicted as an object of Carmen's interest, foreshadowing emotional conflict and impending crisis within Jean Jacques’ seemingly stable world.
