| Summary |
"Le joug: roman" by Marion Gilbert is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into themes of familial duty, untold secrets, and the heavy weight of the past. The story follows the lives of sisters Fanny and Berthe as they navigate the complexities of their relationship and the revelations surrounding their dying mother, particularly a mysterious letter that holds the potential to disrupt their ordinary lives. The opening of the novel introduces a poignant scene in which Fanny and Berthe care for their ailing mother, who is nearing death. As they tend to her, the mother mentions a letter, which becomes a focal point of curiosity and tension between the sisters. Following their mother’s passing, the sisters confront the implications of this letter, leading them to explore their family’s past, the secrecy that shrouded their upbringing, and the life of the child Fanny bore in her youth. This opening sets the stage for a deeply emotional journey of self-discovery, responsibility, and the quest for answers in the wake of loss. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
