Vague yellow grasses

Françoise Bourdin

Release date : 26/10/2023

“Once again, in just a few months, I’ve written a second novel, De vagues herbes jaunes... This time I’ve borrowed the title from Verlaine.* It’s a tale of pure fiction, which already brings together all my favorite themes: the family, each person’s place in it, fate and free will, life in the countryside....” Françoise Bourdin
Françoise’s most avid readers have been waiting for decades to read this book. Those who know her will find in it what she did best: telling the story of a family and their home in a well-known French region.

All that remains of the immense Peyrou des Montignac estate are the “vague yellow grasses” that surround an imposing mansion. The arid soil of the Lot region wore down the members of this family of great landowners, one after the other. Cyril, the last of the Montignacs, is a solitary... All that remains of the immense Peyrou des Montignac estate are the “vague yellow grasses” that surround an imposing mansion. The arid soil of the Lot region wore down the members of this family of great landowners, one after the other. Cyril, the last of the Montignacs, is a solitary dreamer whose only passions are his books, his dog, his gun collection, and his horse. The fire that almost destroyed Le Peyrou didn’t help matters. Not to mention Cyril’s penchant for alcohol and the letter he received one morning announcing the death of his mother. This legacy too heavy to bear, his family history haunts him in the solitude of the land where he was born. It will drive him to consider the impossible, in the face of the incomprehension and general hatred of the villagers who stare down at him, perched on their cliff. The link to their land is all they have left, in this region where memories are still marked by the horrors of war and the ghosts of Oradour-sur-Glane. How can they understand this boy who is so different and tortured?
