"The Will to Live (Les Roquevillard)" by Henry Bordeaux is a novel written in the early 20th century." The narrative centers around the Roquevillard family, particularly focusing on the patriarch, Mr. Francis Roquevillard, and the significant events surrounding the family estate La Vigie, set against the backdrop of their vineyard and personal conflicts. The book explores themes of tradition, family legacy, and the complexities of love and betrayal. "At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the picturesque vineyard of La Vigie and the grape harvest, where Mr. Roquevillard oversees his workers with a benevolent yet authoritative demeanor." His interactions reveal his deep connection to the land and the traditions of his family, steeped in a rich history of honor and labor. The opening vividly portrays the laborers' efforts as they gather grapes, highlighting the atmosphere of community and camaraderie. However, beneath this idyllic surface, tensions simmer in the form of emerging romantic entanglements and a foreshadowing sense of conflict, particularly concerning Mr. Roquevillard's son, Maurice, and his involvement with the enigmatic Mrs. Frasne, which sets the stage for the unfolding drama within the family and their relationships.
