Title: The People of Combeval - Volume 1 - Jean Paul Malaval - book

Summary :

In August 1914, it was harvest time for the Montagnacs, who owned the finest land in Combeval. But war broke out, and from then on it was a time of sacrifice. Charles had to let his eldest son, Marcelin, go rather than

his younger brother Bastien, too young to be drafted. The latter will abandon his dream of becoming a teacher and stay on the farm. As for their sister, Eugénie, Charles, by force of circumstance, gives up the idea of ​​marrying her off immediately.

Marcelin, called to the front, leaves his fiancée Reine, daughter of a modest winegrower, under the roof of the Montagnacs; he will have to wait for his next leave to marry her. His return, in tragic circumstances, will plunge Combeval into chaos.
Jean-Paul Malaval, author of Silk wedding, of a French family and so many other successes, excels once again in evoking a French family rooted in its land, confronted with the rigors and disasters of History.
