The second part of the family chronicle follows the transformation of Felicie Lavergne, the older daughter, during and before World War II. Once a spoiled girl, she must navigate a series of disappointments to discover the courage and strength inherited from her mother. The author confronts Felicie’s fate with the lives of her daughters, young women seeking their place in both family and life amidst a tumultuous era, often at the cost of many mistakes and hardships. The war physically and ideologically divides the extended family, scattering them to various locations and differing political stances. Dramatic twists reveal the full weight of the situation brought about by the Nazis. Felicie’s older daughter, Belle, a carefree girl focused solely on her acting career before the war, soon learns the harsh realities of Hitler’s conflict. Her family suffers the devastating consequences, and like her mother, Belle finds the strength to help her remaining family endure the chaos of war. Their shared bravery and desire to survive in the face of adversity are underscored by a strong sense of family and respect for traditions, values they hope to pass on to future generations.
