George Caron is a man from Addie’s village, Villon-sur-Sarthe. He starts paying attention to Addie when she turns 16. Addie doesn’t dislike George in particular, but she doesn’t want to be anybody’s wife, so she prays to the gods to help her. They apparently hear her prayers, since George shifts his focus from Addie to Addie’s friend Isabelle, ultimately marrying and having children with her.

There was no danger in it, no reproach, not when she was young. All girls are prone to dreaming. She will grow out of it, her parents say—but instead, Adeline feels herself growing in, holding tighter to the stubborn hope of something more.
The world should be getting larger. Instead, she feels it shrinking, tightening like chains around her limbs as the flat lines of her own body begin to curve out against it, and suddenly the charcoal beneath her nails is unbecoming, as is the idea that she would choose her own company over Arnaud’s or George’s, or any man who might have her.
