Title : The fig tree as a legacy - Françoise Bourdon - Book

Summary :

Revenge of a painful childhood in public assistance.

A beautiful property nestled at the foot of Mount Ventoux, La Figuière immediately captured Mélanie's heart. She has come a long way—a painful childhood filled with bullying and solitude in public care, then with farmers in Ardèche—and senses that her future lies here in this haven of peace.

To achieve this, the young cardboard maker from Valréas agrees to marry, despite their differences in fortune and education, Alexis, the son of a Vaucluse guarantor, who has retrained in the absinthe distillery. Mélanie thrives in her new profession and invests all her energy in the Gauthier factory until 1915, when absinthe is definitively banned. The old distillery will then become a shelter for abandoned children.
