The Pearl Necklace, Régine Deforges

The wind in her hair, the scratches of wheat ears, the softness of moss under the old oak tree, the caress of water on her naked body, the taste of vine peaches... In the shadow of the mill where she spends her holidays, young Perle savors the joys of high summer. With her grandmother, a woman untouched by the years, and Étienne, an old shepherd, the little girl enjoys the rare scent of freedom. For a season, life is made and unmade, under the innocent eyes of a child who does not yet know that one can love at any age and who will keep from this unforgettable moment, as from the eternal love she has for her grandmother, only a string of pearls...

A melancholic and sensual story in which Régine Deforges evokes the passing of time, the power of love, and praises transmission.
