4/5
Une belle critique de la période de l’industrialisation en France, des conditions de travail, des inégalités de classe et des violences conjugales à cette époque. Le lecteur est très bien immergé dans l’atmosphère froide et grinçante. Cependant la lecture est longue, pas assez fluide pour mériter la note maximale.

This book is the first part of a series of 3.
It starts in 1866 and we follow until 1900 the life of Constance a factory worker, in Lille and other places in the North of France. She tells her life, tragedies, also moments of happyness.The time going on, after it's her daughter telling the following.
Through her story we can see the life of workers in factories at this time, their misery, dangerous working conditions, and all coming with: alcoolism, sickness, epidemic deseases.
Marie Paul Armand works with a serious documentation and this book is a faithfull account of this time. Especially in Fourmies in 1891 when troups shooted workers manifesting for better conditions.

Livre que je re-découvre maintenant adulte. Les histoires et la patriarche ont mal vieillis même si je reste nostalgique.
