Title : Adieu lou païs - Micheline Boussuge - book

Summary :

Ode to the Lost Country... such could have been the title of Adieu lou païs. Fifty years after leaving her native farm, Micheline Boussuge delves into her memories and delivers the moving account of a childhood where the warmth of affection compensated for the harshness of everyday life. Through her rediscovered childlike eyes, Micheline Boussuge recalls her father, armed with his goad, plowing with a plow, pulled by two cows. Her children sometimes accompanied him, followed by the goat, more greedy for chocolate than green grass. Uncle Adolphe's camera immortalized communions. And they spent the winter knitting to buy a jacket worthy of the name... And then the father sold his animals, closed the doors of the forge, and it was time to say goodbye to the country. Or rather "goodbye", because, at the twilight of life, memories surface, lulled by the lilting sounds of Occitan.
