Used book – La colline aux lavandes, Robert Gaymard

The accidental death of little Lulu, barely five years old, plunges the Maurel family into mourning, and Jacky, the uncle, to whom the child had been entrusted, is consumed by remorse. Henri and Jeanne, the parents, overwhelmed by despair, no longer find in themselves the will or the strength to keep Ginestière and its lavender-covered acres alive. As for the grandfather, who was devastated by the brutal disappearance of his grandson, he now prefers the company of animals to that of men. Thirty years have passed. Jacky, who was driven away from the region by his grandfather, has built his life and successfully developed his father-in-law's small masonry business, without ever being able to forget Ginestière, or those there from whom he seeks forgiveness. But will he be able to transcend his heavy past to once again take the path that leads to the lavender hill?
