Title : Fontbrune - Brigitte Le Varlet - Book
Summary :
Adeline Gontier was born in 1806. Orphaned at the age of three, she was raised by her grandmother and uncle Elie in Fontbrune, in the heart of the Périgord Noir. Without a dowry, her future seemed uncertain.... But Adeline was blessed with an excellent nature: energetic, bold, full of common sense, adoring life and endowed with a fiery temperament. What a spirited woman! Between sowing, harvesting, and grape harvesting, in the scent of mushrooms and heather, in the land of sorcerers and feasting, where patience, cunning, and secrecy reign, but where people have a nimble tongue and a broad laugh, Adeline was loved and loved passionately, violently, but also with a rare tenderness. Through its beautiful heroine and its many characters, Fontbrune is a great historical novel that paints a fascinating picture of provincial France in the aftermath of the Napoleonic epic.
