Customer Review

This book reflects the life in the Breton countryside in the last century. He was inspired to its author, for what holds the memories of his mother, the heroine of this story.

This is not the first time lon hear about life in the countryside in Brittany, at the time, but this book is unusual to follow the route dune child born into poverty that still manages to forge a better fate.

His life is really hard because it is compelled to leave his family at the age of 11, to be used as farm girl. She can not go to school and she mainly soccupe of a herd of cows which should monitor long hours alone in the countryside. She tells her life on the farm where she observed the behavior of many each other and where she witnessed scenes that are not his age.

Nevertheless Lise forges a solid character and teaches life quickly. Despite its rather dark environment, it is able to find small pleasures in his life and this country are brief compensations. And then there are caring people around her, and it overcomes the hardness of others.

Through this book OGOR Jeanine and Jean ROHOU his collaborator, we train in a world where everyone is trying to find some happiness in a fate that noffre little despoirs dépanouissement staff. But love is omnipresent in various forms, often with the negative consequences of jealousy, conflict, darrangements to LAMIABLE to save face. Fortunately sincere love also citizenship.

Ultimately Lise sen released, she was visibly much to tell Jeanine, his daughter, that makes us enjoy this interesting and moving testimony.

The current life in the country is certainly less rude, presumably, although very laborious too.

Reading "The hovel of my mother" we measure progress in all areas and living comfort that results and brings more happiness in some sense. Happiness is sometimes in the comparison. But that this is another story!

Congratulations to David lillustrateur CREN for his drawings remarkably touching and appropriate to the story.
