Title : The River of Hope - Volume 1 - Christian Signol - Book
Summary :

Drawn into conflicts between great merchants, the victim of a plot, Benjamin would be separated from those he loved and his fiancée, Marie. But the great river also carried happiness...
"The truth and accuracy of detail, the poetic precision of place and time plunge beings and things into an eternity which is, itself, the lot of true novelists." Le Quotidien de Paris
