Title : The Rose and the Lilac - Jean Anglade - Book

Summary :

The sweet and studious Rose, a young girl from the early 20th century, dreams of becoming a teacher, marries a road worker, and becomes a crossing guard on the railway line from Vichy to Le Puy. This life, though solitary and obscure, will prove to be extraordinarily rich. Between two rare trains, in school notebooks, she keeps a vivid chronicle of a lost hamlet and a rural world that has now disappeared.

Jean Anglade rescued the humble destiny of a Rose from oblivion, making the life of this farm worker's daughter who became a woman of letters a true novel.

"A luminous and touching novel, an ode to Auvergne and a tribute to writing." Edmonde Vergnes-Permingeat – The Black Mountain
