About this Book

Print Excerpt


So much importance was placed on the father's role in the Limousin, that some parts of the region upheld the custom of the father taking to bed and receiving visitors following his wife's safe delivery of a child. From the very first, Marie-Clémentine was a social deviant. Fatherless, her identity was incomplete, unstable, mercurial.

And the only parental bond the little girl had was about to be put to the test.
