Used book – Mercury's Garden, Jean Anglade

There are people who boast of being born in a taxi or an elevator. She was born at the summit of the Puy-de-Dôme on April 16, 1885. Her parents were mountain weather station keepers... The child of the peaks grew up with her head in the clouds. She quickly learned to decipher the sky map and, after a necessary stay for studies at lower altitudes, became an auxiliary meteorologist. One clear day, she met the gaze of an Auvergnat who resembled Vercingetorix. They married and faced the roller coaster of life together.
