Title: Wild Mints - Christian Signol - book
Summary :
After "Les cailloux bleus" and "Les menthes sauvages"... Here continues the story of the Fabre family, the story of Philomène, Adrien, and their children, the story of this village in the Causse Quercynois, near Rocamadour, which burns under the summer fires, creaks under the winter's feet, quivers in spring and autumn. But History intervenes, which, after one war, brings another, with its misfortunes: defeat, exodus, and this civil war that tears families apart. Soon peace returned, passions died down, new seasons passed. And children had children. Even as the village died, even as she entered old age, Philomène grew: the heart and soul of her family, the heart and soul of this peasant community where her life was played out. With Philomène, a great woman's character entered our literature. She has the fragility and strength, the loyalty and power of love of those unknown heroines who made our families and our history.
