Title : In the Secret of the Reeds - Jean Anglade - book

Summary :

In present-day Auvergne, the tranquility of a small village of a dozen inhabitants is about to be put to the test by the massive arrival of people of all kinds. Humor and relevance are at the heart of this novel, marked by the inimitable pen of Jean Anglade.

Chaumont-sur-Dorette, in Auvergne, surrounded by woods and pastures, at an altitude of a thousand meters, leads a life in winter with its dozen inhabitants hardly more agitated than that of its cemetery. Summer changes everything. Many Southerners occupy its Rapans inn, fill the Auvergne hamlet with their volubility, their laughter, their games of pétanque, and for two months make it "Marseille-sur-Dorette".

Everything becomes complicated... Luce Rodary, twelve years old, daughter of the innkeepers, falls in love with Mr. Jo, director of the colony. When she is told that, despite his American cap and his guitar, Mr. Jo is a Catholic priest, she refuses to believe it...
