«L'or des rivières» is the autobiographical account by Françoise Chandernagor, published by Gallimard in 2024 in paperback (304 pages, in French).
In the Creuse, a region of the French Massif Central that inspired Claude Monet, Chandernagor recalls her peasant childhood, the rivers, the moors, her stonemason grandfather and the seasonal migration to Paris. The memory of that poor, isolated territory, transformed by economic and climatic changes, lies at the origin of her vocation as a writer.
Work published in Gallimard's Blanche collection. On the cover, Françoise Chandernagor is listed as a member of the Académie Goncourt.
For readers of memoirs and contemporary French literature, with a particular interest in rural life and the relationship between landscape and memory.
