«Le Château de ma mère» is the second part of Marcel Pagnol's childhood memoirs (Editions de Fallois, paperback, 240 pages, in French).
The book follows young Marcel when he meets Lili des Bellons, a peasant boy, in the hills; from that friendship is born the light that illuminates his holiday days. The narrative evokes family life in Provence, the loss of innocence and the passage of time, and closes with a melancholy epilogue about childhood.
It is the second volume of Marcel Pagnol's Souvenirs d'enfance series, a continuation of La Gloire de mon père.
For readers of memoirs and classic French literature seeking a nostalgic evocation of childhood and friendship.
