| Summary | "La Becquée" by René Boylesve is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to center around family dynamics and social issues within a provincial French setting, particularly in the context of the Franco-Prussian War. The narrative introduces several characters closely associated with the main protagonist, a young boy named Henri, who navigates the complexities of familial relationships and societal expectations, particularly in light of recent tragedies and the impending war. The opening of "La Becquée" sets the stage for an exploration of innocence amidst conflict. It begins with a lively scene where two young girls, Marguerite and Georgette Pergeline, visit Henri's mother, who is bedridden due to the effects of the war. The atmosphere is charged with both excitement and anxiety, as the villagers anticipate the arrival of local soldiers while dealing with their own fears and the impacts of the war, including the loss of loved ones. As Henri witnesses these interactions and the various adult concerns surrounding him, themes of childhood innocence, loss, and the social structures of provincial life begin to unfold. The tone is reflective, encapsulating both the mundane and the grave as Henri grapples with the complexities of his family’s situation against the backdrop of a changing world.
