Used Book – Roses Are Eternal, Françoise Bourdon

The world changes, eras come and go, yet the human heart remains constant and the pursuit of happiness is a continuous recommencement. This is what we see through Aurélie, a santon creator in the Comtat Venaissin; Hector, a potter in Apt; Félicien, a farmer in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence; and Madeleine, a shoe factory worker in Romans, whose destinies intertwine over more than a century across generations. However humble their lives may be, they will not escape the cruelties of great historical events or the injustices of fate. But despite everything, they will remain driven by hope...

Through four short stories rooted in these southern lands that she explores with passion, Françoise Bourdon (The Mill of Sources, The Linden Tree Farmhouse, The Cursed Son…) offers us magnificent life lessons.
