«Manon des sources» is the novel by Marcel Pagnol published by Pocket in paperback (310 pages, in French).
The action takes place in rural Provence. Manon, a young shepherdess, seeks justice for the death of her father, a man who came from the city and was ruined by two peasants who wanted his land. The plot combines revenge, family secrets and the harsh life of the countryside, with the water of the hills as a common thread.
The work is the second part of the L'Eau des collines series, which also includes Jean de Florette.
For readers of French fiction and twentieth-century classics, especially those wishing to continue the narrative cycle begun in Jean de Florette.
