Used book – Le temps d'un été, Kathy Falguera

Mirepeisset, summer 1969.

The arrival of Annabelle, a city dweller, and her two daughters, Lise and Élisabeth, disrupts the routine of a usually spotless village happiness. To everyone's surprise, the troublemakers settle into the dilapidated house of the late Antoinette. A godsend for the village gossips! Faced with rural life rich in sorrows, joys, hatreds, and dramas, the three "intruders" will try to adapt.

A love story, a true friendship, a disappearance, and the discovery of true peasant values of mutual aid and solidarity will change them forever.

Le Temps d’un été (A Summer's Time) is a tender fresco of the sometimes difficult relationships between country folk and city dwellers. The author takes this opportunity to introduce us to the intricacies of village life, for which one must possess the keys to truly share in it.
