Village life

This story between a man and a woman who meet by announcement and who will live in a village near Aurillac is irrelevant. The style is remarkable, too, for he is the meeting of two single and living in an enclosed area of ​​central France where intellectuals are not welcome. The novelist speaks very little of this couple instead of the woman from the city, the north with the Polish name of her ex-husband. To be tolerated (not accepted) in the village must be silent, suffer the evil of the selfish old sister and uncles of his companion. Frankly I find this very credible story, how to accept such conditions of life? This is a modern young woman who has other choices.
No feeling of affection among all the characters except the mother for her son, nothing makes you want to heroin to stay in this remote corner and inhospitable.
