«La Rose et le Lilas» is the novel by Jean Anglade published by Pocket in paperback (348 pages, in French).
Rose Combe, daughter of an agricultural laborer, dreams of becoming a teacher, but marries a road worker and ends up as a level-crossing keeper on the line between Vichy and Le Puy. Between trains, she writes in school exercise books the chronicle of a lost village and of a rural world dying out; her notes reveal a writer who was unaware of herself.
The 2005 edition published by Pocket brings together in a single volume «La Rose et le Lilas» and «Le roi des fougères».
For readers of rural-set novels and French literature, especially those who appreciate stories set in early 20th-century France.
