The story begins with reminiscences of the past, particularly the character Étienne Depardieu, whose youthful adventures are recounted through the lens of someone drawing upon rich folklore and the rural life of the Berry region in France. Central to the narrative are themes of love, familial bonds, and the connection to nature, depicted through the lives of characters like Brulette, Joseph, and Étienne. The opening portion of the book sets the stage with the author introducing the character of Étienne Depardieu as he reflects back on his childhood experiences, particularly his interactions with his cousin Brulette and their friend Joseph. The narrative speaks to their youthful innocence as they navigate the complexities of relationships, with both intrigue and jealousy evident, particularly in Étienne's feelings towards Brulette and her care for Joseph. The simplicity of rural life is vividly illustrated, along with the profound emotions that intertwine as they face the milestones of youth, such as their first communion. The reader is thrust into a world steeped in nostalgia, where each character’s story promises to unfold amidst the rich tapestry of rural traditions and personal growth.
