Di uno scrittore di uomini misteriosi

Descrizione

This tale evolves around a small graveyard in a small French town, Bourgogne. We meet an array of interesting, nuanced characters, including our main protagonist, Violette. The story of Violette's life is slowly revealed to us through her own words or through the interconnectedness with the lives of other people: Violette's difficult childhood, being born with nothing, her tragic marriage to Philippe, her daughter, her life working as a bartender, then as a level crossing keeper and finally her life as a cemetery caretaker.
