At the conclusion of that novel, she is living in the streets and just beginning a life of prostitution.Nana opens with a night at the Th??tre des Vari?t?s in April 1867 just after the Exposition Universelle has opened. Nana is eighteen years old, though she would have been fifteen according to the family tree of the Rougon-Macquarts Zola had published years before starting work on this novel.
