Title : The Olive Tree Valley - Françoise Bourdon - Book
Summary :
Every time he contemplated his trees, Ulysses thought of his father, his grandfather, and the generations of Valentines who had succeeded one another at Combe aux Oliviers, an estate in the Nyons region. They all shared the sacred tree.
At La Combe aux Oliviers, the Valentin family—Ulysse, the father, Armide and Lucrèce, his two daughters—lives to the rhythm of the seasons. Just like her father, Lucrèce, the youngest, has a passion for olive trees. When, in the aftermath of the Great War, she takes over the estate, she devotes her life to her trees, including Noé, the oldest, her confidant in good times and bad. At the dawn of a new life, everything changes. Widowed and mother of little Aurélie, this whole-hearted woman conquers the right to experience new loves, lives through the Second World War as a resistance fighter, and above all fights for her daughter, who has polio, as much as for the survival of her olive trees.
A superb family saga about the fate of a passionate Provençal woman, at the heart of the turmoil of the 20th century.
