The story takes us from the dear Garrigue to the secondary school where Marcel is first ill at ease because he is a scholarship holder and because he went to the grade school (the other bourgeois pupils had probably a private tutor). A fight against a rich kid ,that augurs badly for what is to follow. (to be followed in "Le Temps des Amours" )
A tender, sun-drenched evocation of childhood summers in Provence. It captures the bittersweet ache of burgeoning adolescence, the sting of social divides, and the quiet beauty of memory. A gentle, nostalgic journey.
