Used book – The Arid Path, Marie DE PALET

In the Mont Lozère region, Louise, a young peasant woman, is in love with Adrien, a dreamy boy from the neighbouring village and the youngest son of a very wealthy farming family. Their love is thwarted by Adrien's mother, who is arranging a marriage of convenience for him. The lovers hold on, but the declaration of war in 1914 delays their plans. This war will transform everyone's lives and break many destinies. This book allows us to relive or discover life in our countryside during the First World War, a war that would profoundly change mentalities and ways of life. Through this tragedy, Louise will try to force destiny and find a new life.
