Used book – Les bateliers du Rhône, Françoise Bourdon

All it took was a moment of inattention in the thick fog that sometimes enveloped the river. One terrible day in 1830, Jérôme Sénéchal, a Rhone boatman like his father and grandfather before him, disappeared with his convoy of "boats" and their cargo. A family, Manon his wife and Antoine their very young son, plunged into ruin. Manon and Antoine would have to build a new life in Caderousse. From the Toulon prison to the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, destinies intertwine in an era when rebellious women were pointed at. An eternal new beginning between two worlds, that of water and that of land, in a Provence that holds heavy secrets.
