«Noces de charbon» is Sophie Chauveau's novel, published by Gallimard in 2013, in paperback (394 pages, in French).
Amid secrets, adultery and bad marriages, the author reconstructs her family history and links it to the great saga of coal. Dandies, cocottes and mine owners clash with miners, orphans and heiresses. The narrative moves from northern France in the late 19th century to the Paris of 1968, as the era of «black gold» fades.
For readers of family sagas and historical novels set in industrial France in the 19th and 20th centuries.
