Despre carte

This is a collection of letters written by Mildred Aldrich, an American expatriate who had bought a country farmhouse near Paris in the spring of 1914. Writing to her friends back home, she describes her idyllic life in Huiry, the minutiae of her farmhouse and her daily life. Ignoring the panicked pleadings of friends that she return to the U.S. as the political situation in Europe darkens, Aldrich stands firm in her decision to stay in France and her village, come what may.

As war breaks out she looks out over Marne valley at the armies manoeuvring, hears the cannonade in the distance and watches as soldiers of all nations march down the lanes in turn. From her unique civilian-eye view, Aldrich relates her encounters with refugees, villagers, soldiers and the wounded.--From book flap.
