In 1906, six-year-old Madeleine experiences the Courrières mine disaster, which claims a thousand lives, including her uncles. The subsequent general strike leads to famine in the mining communities. As the daughter and later wife of a miner, Madeleine lives in constant fear. With meticulous detail and emotion, she recounts a life marked by accidents, world wars, and social conflicts, while also testifying to the solidarity of mining families and the joys of a life illuminated by the love of her parents, her husband, and her son, Jean, who eventually becomes a mining engineer.
