Title: The River of Hope - Volume 3 - The Soul of the Valley - Christian Signol - book

Summary :

With Benjamin's return, the Donadieus have resumed their lives, punctuated by the rising and falling of their "River of Hope," the Dordogne. But progress, the magic word of the 19th century, leaves them little respite. The expansion of the railway network and the competition waged by the railways through low prices gradually reduce the river trade to ruin. Benjamin and Marie no longer have a choice: they must leave Souillac, their beloved valley, to go up into the high country to work in the timber trade. An uprooting, a new heartbreak, and a world to discover, that of lumberjacks and the dark forests of the hills...

"Christian Signol breathes into the anonymous destinies of his characters a breadth and a sincerity, a humility too, which are rare things... It is this art of the simple and the true which makes the charm and the success of his books..." Laurence Vidal – Le Figaro
