Title : A Bed of Hawthorn - Jean Anglade - book

Summary :

At the beginning of the 20th century, a mother's love for her three boys with very different destinies: one becomes a priest, another an officer, the third a pimp.

Viverols, a mountain commune surrounded by woods and pastures, on the borders of four provinces: Auvergne, Forez, Velay, Vivarais. In 1902, a Corsican gendarme, Pancrace Cervoni, was appointed brigade chief there. He married a young, almost illiterate peasant woman, Tiennette Farigoule, whose mother claimed to be a descendant of the Dauphin Louis XVII, who had escaped from the Temple and taken refuge in the region. They had three sons together. The first would become a priest, the second an officer, and the third a pimp. But, unconcerned by these dissimilar careers, Tiennette harbored an equal and passionate love for them, ready for any indulgence.

With In A Bed of Hawthorn, Jean Anglade tells us the captivating and multi-coloured, burlesque and moving story of this 'Mother Goriot' and her three sons.
