Marie D'en Haut

At 30, Marie has a strong character and is extraordinarily resourceful. When Olivier, lieutenant of gendarmerie, arrives at her home without warning for a routine investigation, she does not hesitate to make it clear to him that he is not welcome. But this shell of a strong woman conceals her cracks. It is thanks to Antoine, her best friend, and Suzie, her daughter, that Marie finds meaning in her life. And against all odds, Olivier will join the trio. Between him and Antoine, the war is declared. The challenge? The heart of Mary. This book by midwife turned author Agnes Ledig has conquered the public with it's charm, and garnered the "Coup de Coeur des lectrices" of the Femme actuelle prize. The story is read here by Marie Bouvier.
