"Les Roquevillard" by Henry Bordeaux is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Roquevillard family, particularly focusing on François Roquevillard, an affable landowner and lawyer, as well as his interactions with the local vineyard workers and his family. The narrative delves into themes of tradition, family legacy, and the societal changes of the time, framed against the backdrop of the picturesque Savoie region. The opening portion of "Les Roquevillard" introduces us to a warm autumn evening during the grape harvest at the Roquevillard estate. François Roquevillard is seen directing the harvesters, embodying the benevolent authority of a local landowner. The detailed descriptions convey a vivid sense of place and time, illustrating the beauty of the Savoie landscape and the diligent work of the vineyard women. As François interacts with the harvesters, his reminders of familial ties and obligations weave a rich tapestry of community life, interspersed with hints of personal challenges within his family, particularly concerning his children and their future. This establishes an intriguing dynamic as the story unfolds, hinting at conflicts that may arise from the juxtaposition of tradition and the desires of the younger generation.
