beautiful prose…a bit confusing

I spent the first half of the book wondering what was going on. The second was clearer to me. That said, the author has a great talent for descriptors, and a great imagination. I’ll definitely red this again, hopefully less confused.

Portrait d'une famille française exilée au Chili, sur plusieurs générations. Les choses que l'on transmet en les disant, et celles que l'on transmet en les taisant. Galerie de personnages hauts en couleurs, et l'importance est donnée autant aux femmes qu'aux hommes.
La famille Lonsonnier, après avoir fui la France à cause d'une maladie sur la vigne, se construit une nouvelle vie au Chili, mais en restant profondément français de cœur : les trois fils partent en Europe pour la première guerre mondiale, la petite fille jouera un rôle important dans la deuxième guerre mondiale en tant qu'aviatrice, et l'arrière-petit fils échappera à la dictature chilienne en retournant aux sources de sa famille. Ajoutons à ça un soupçon de magie, de merveilleux, d'amour de la nature, et ce livre est une belle découverte.
