Used Book – L'Heure du braconnier, Gilbert Bordes

Born on the same day in February 1922 in the village of Nigérac, Jean and Émilienne were destined for each other.

Once adults, they announced their engagement, plunging the village into jubilation. However, historical events would put an end to this passion. And the surprise is complete when, a month before the wedding, Jean leaves Émilienne for another woman. Each will then have to give new meaning to their life, one by leaving their native village for Paris, the other by giving birth to the absent one's child. For Émilienne, all that remains now is to patiently await the hour of reconciliation.
