Sophie Daull’s lifetime anger

He was told that his neighbor, Gilbert Louvet, was lonely, a grumpy, also refractory to the current changes in agriculture – especially with regard to ecology – as to social developments, especially in the place of women … However, Solange, Parisian intellectual newly arrived in the village and a foolproof patience, tames the “brute”. Learning that he has a daughter, Jennyfer, with whom he has been angry for ten years, she puts herself in mind to reconcile them. Tirelessly, she wrote to the young woman, a paratrooper at the 17th RGP of Montauban, telling the life of her father’s peasant and their neighborhood relationships, with sensitivity and humor.

This warm epistolary novel about the generational conflict and the upheavals of the rural world moved by its depth and its disconcerting fall. The writer and actress Sophie Daull, who had seduced us with Camille, my flight on his daughter who died at 16, and The suture, Road-Trip in the footsteps of his mother, always has the right word.
