About This Book

La narration suit les tensions et les alliances au sein d'une communauté rurale quand un jeune ingénieur nourrit un amour discret pour une jeune femme tandis qu'amis et artisans débattent de projets, de ruines financières et de la fierté paternelle. Entre plans hydrauliques ambitieux, querelles de classes et manœuvres pour obtenir des consentements, les personnages dévoilent loyautés, préjugés et calculs pratiques. Les échanges mettent en regard l'ardeur de la jeunesse, la réserve des familles et la simplicité des ouvriers, et la perspective d'un mariage se mêle aux préoccupations matérielles et aux conflits d'honneur.
