This story of women takes us on a journey through the history of the 20th century.

Marie was born in 1912 on a farm in Corrèze. She never left.
This book is a story of women. The author’s ancestors, simple women leading "minuscule," deeply affecting lives. Women whose husbands perished all too soon in the tumult of history or from twists of fate, women who had to pick up the torch and run the farm to keep their children alive.
