Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a portrait of a rural community in 19th century France. The author, a gifted observer of human nature, illuminates the lives of the area's farmers and farm-hands, and their daily struggles to maintain their way of life in the face of social and economic change. The book not only captures the rhythms and challenges of rural labor, but also explores the region's religious divisions and their impact on the community. These divisions, old wounds dating back to the French Revolution, continue to shape the characters' outlook on the world and their interactions with one another. Skillfully employing themes of love, loss, and social injustice, the author paints a vivid picture of a society on the cusp of change, and the lives of the people who lived through it.
