«La terre et le moulin» is the novel by Georges Coulonges, published by Pocket in paperback (332 pages, in French).
Marie-Paule Nadal inherits from her father some land, a run-down farm and an old mill in the rugged landscape of Quercy. Her relationship with Pierre, a young farmer from the area, is conditioned by the legislation of the time: if they marry, her property would become his and she would have to follow her husband and leave the family plot. The novel portrays with humour and emotion the life of rural France and the ties to the land.
Originally published in 1984, the Pocket edition is from 2005. It was Coulonges's penultimate novel.
For readers interested in rural France, inheritance stories and the novel of manners, as well as for followers of Georges Coulonges's narrative.
