Title : The Sap and the Ashes - Alain Dubos - book

Summary :

The Haute Lande, in the 1920s. On this damp, flat land, licked by the salty ocean winds, nothing has changed since the 19th century. Wealthy distillers continue to make their fortunes prosper from the resin and the misery of sharecroppers. Far from Paris and the noisy Roaring Twenties, two women from the Landes will shake off the yoke of the established order. Heiress to endless pine forests where the sap flows like gold, Maylis decides to run the estate herself, much to the scandal of her family. Madeleine is a peasant woman thirsting for justice and knowledge, who takes the lead of a nascent union movement. The fight between them reveals them to be sisters in rebellion and courage.
