This story tells of the coming of age of Sebastian, a shy librarian living with his overbearing mother and working at a library. His only solace lies in his obsession with Joan of Arc and everything surrounding her. He meets a young grad student doing her thesis about Joan of Arc during the 100 Years' War and offers to lend her books from their unavailable Joan of Arc collection. They form a brief friendship until the young woman is given a grant to continue her studies in France. Sebastien himself decides to move out and start his life anew.
