Title : The Sunken River - Louis-Olivier Vitté - book
Summary :
On this winter day in 1850, on the banks of the Dordogne, between Auvergne and Limousin, the parish of Combe-Noire seems very quiet. This is where Emilien Marillac is sent for his first assignment, where only solitude and destitution await him. But Emilien hopes for nothing other than his love of God and that of his neighbor. The human misery that prevails at the time, however, exceeds his capacity for sacrifice and devotion.
Yet he stands up, with some women from the village, against illness, hunger, old age, epidemics, and will do everything to restore a little humanity to this place which is only asking to be reborn.
