This book is a stark and moving portrayal of life in rural France during the mid-1800s, as political instability and the scourge of conscription cast long and treacherous shadows over the daily lives of ordinary people. The author's sympathetic and evocative descriptions of the Roquefort family's struggles to maintain their identity and land in the face of relentless modernization is a poignant and intimate story that captures the universal human struggle against forces outside of one's control.
