Title : The Kingdom of the River - Volume 2 - Christian Signol - book

Summary :

Suddenly, it was as if the straw in a granary had caught fire, sending golden flames dancing across the river. Benjamin pulled Mary against him, took her hands, placed them on the rudder, and held them in his own. “Look at my kingdom,” he said. “The only one in the world worth defending.” He steered the rudder, and Mary felt the power of the water in her hands, in her arms, her shoulders. “Do you know why?” Benjamin asked. She smiled, amused, and shook her head. “Because in that kingdom, all men can become kings. And women?” “Only those who know how to hold a rudder,” he said, laughing. “Then let me try.” It was still a time of happiness for Mary and Benjamin. But already History, the “great” kind, was reaching them. With the 1848 revolution crushed in Paris, a silent repression weighed on the country. In December 1851, Prince Napoleon's coup d'état sparked a veritable insurrection throughout the republican Southwest. Benjamin, who took part, was arrested, tried, and deported to Algeria with thousands of others. Once again—as was already the case in Les cailloux bleus et les menthes sauvages—a woman brings to life a novel by Christian Signol.
