Product Description
Set deep in the mountains of southern France, this charming short novel tells the story of a man from the Cèvennes Mountains called Roux, who refuses to join the army at the outbreak of war in 1914.Â
Instead, he flees & hides in the hills, only returning occasionally to the farm where he left his mother & sisters. The people of the valley condemn his desertion & they hope the police will find his hideout. But as the months & the years go by, & the horrors of the trenches become known, the local people start to understand Roux’s actions.Â
Chamson explores questions of perception, morality & conscience with a lightness of touch coupled with an atmospheric picture of life in a WWI era rural community.
