In Saint-Ségur, Corrèze, the Monestier family has ruled over the Renaudière since the 15th century. In the summer of 1910, the patriarch Angel plans to secure the future of the estate through the marriage of his daughter Clémence, expecting his eldest son, Paul, to take over. However, the outbreak of the Great War drastically alters the destiny of the family and the estate.
The novel explores how changes in mentality, technology, and the economy challenge the traditions of the Monestier family. Faced with a rapidly transforming world, the uncompromising Angel must face the difficult task of adapting to preserve the prosperity of his legacy, in a family saga that masterfully portrays rural French life at the beginning of the 20th century.
