«Le temps et la paille» is the novel by Jean Anglade, published by Pocket in paperback (344 pages, in French).
Jacques Saint-André, an 88-year-old retired teacher, widowed and isolated in Cournon-d'Auvergne, recalls his arm lost at Dunkirk and his wedding under the Occupation. With no one to listen, he places an ad online seeking a family to adopt him as a grandfather; the response restores his companionship and the joy of sharing his memories.
The 2008 Pocket edition belongs to the Terroir series, focused on narratives of rural France.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in stories about memory, loneliness, and intergenerational bonds.
