Domaine de Cabanac
Our (nearly) resident author Val Wineyard has a new offering for us, an historical novel about a family living in the Corbières, spanning 100 years from 1899 to 1999. Their house is Domaine de Cabanac, with its back against the cold north wind, and their house cares for them. The story reflects life in this part of France with stunning clarity and frankness, especially through the characterisation of brave and vital women who defy the restrictions of the Church and the pettiness of village life. Anna, Ninette, and Josie will capture your hearts. They survive the bitter conflicts, wars and problems of the 20th century to emerge successful and happy, even when wealthy English people arrive to buy their house. . . . . .
