Marie, the orphan from the Bois des Loups, has become an accomplished woman. In Corrèze, in Aubazine, the village of her childhood, she balances her job as a teacher with her family life. But the resentments of the past catch up with her... Continued from The Orphan of the Wolf's Woods.
"Marie could not hold back her tears as she witnessed the exchange of rings. She herself had married Pierre in that small church. The cycle of memories continued to torment her despite her desire to look to the future."

From 1946 to 1970. Marie's years as a woman, mother and wife are marked by intense happiness (her success both private and professional, the birth of her grandchildren, the arrival in the family of a young orphan, her love for her family, her students at school) but also by terrible pain (the suicide of one of her daughters, the death of Nanette, her faithful nurse, the jealousy and resentment of her old "enemies").
With the major events and highlights of the Trente Glorieuses as a backdrop, the election of De Gaulle, the emancipation of women, the walk on the Moon...
A captivating story that blends a grand family saga with an intimate portrait of a simple, courageous woman.


From 1946 to 1970, in Corrèze, the moving chronicle of the Mesnier family centered around Marie, a gentle and courageous woman. A fulfilled wife and mother of four children, a conscientious teacher, Marie thrives in Aubazine, the village where she grew up. Yet she has not forgotten her difficult childhood, the years in the orphanage, and all those who hurt her. Two events will turn her life upside down and bring back painful memories: the distribution of defamatory letters and her unexpected encounter with Mélina, a young orphan...

A hymn to the family and a tribute to women of all generations.
