You won’t find Les Misérables in the religion section at Barnes and Noble, but Hugo’s novel is steeped in Christian imagery and ethics.
In the struggle between the criminal Valjean and the policeman Javert, and in the stories of the people they meet—Cosette and Marius, Fantine, the revolutionaries at the barricade—we see grace at work. It’s a beautiful story brimming with “the peace that surpasses understanding.”
