Title : The Snow of the Geese - Françoise Debris-Poumarat - book

Summary :

In the hamlet of La Peyrouse, life could flow simply and peacefully. All it would take for Madeleine, a heartthrob, to marry Martin, Eugène Chabrol's son, and for him to sell his land to Hortense and Baptiste at a bargain price. But nothing, on these heights of the verdant Livradois-Forez, ever goes as planned. First, there is the arrival of this English couple suspected of having diverted the Fontgoutte spring, not to mention their son who has taken it into his head to raise sheep and who, for that, also needs land. Then there is the return, after thirty years of absence from La Peyrouse, of Alain, the Fontgoutte brother, and especially the arrival of his young associate, Williams, who, alongside him, has made a fortune in the diamond trade. Enough to make Madeleine's heart skip a beat? And sow discord, from twist to surprise, in La Peyrouse? Unless it all ends in a sham marriage and the snow of the geese returns, as it should... Of old Auvergne stock, Françoise Debris-Poumarat knows rural mentalities very well, having patiently observed them. Her novel is a vivid picture of life today in many rural areas of France.
