Title : The Beautiful Stranger - Jean-Paul Malaval - Book
Summary :
In the aftermath of the Liberation, in the village of Marlianges, in Corrèze, there was consternation: the elderly Maximin Maringot had decided to sell his property in the Allognes to his tenant farmers, the Battistelis. The sale of this land, however unrewarding, to Italian immigrants was seen as a betrayal.
Faced with contempt and provocation, the Battistelis discover a providential ally in the person of the doctor, Bertrand Jouve. Why does this distinguished man take up the defense of the Italians? He is suspected of having as his mistress Clara, the Battisteli daughter, whose young beauty arouses covetousness.
Some believe that the still-vivid memory of the horrors of the Occupation will bring people back to reason. But what can reason do in a poisonous climate where hatred quickly becomes criminal?
