Synopsis

A Village In Picardy is a historical fiction novel written by Ruth Louise Gaines and published in 1918. The story is set in a small village in the Picardy region of France during World War I. The novel revolves around the lives of the villagers and how they cope with the war and its consequences. The main character is a young American woman named Ruth who comes to the village as a volunteer nurse. She becomes involved in the lives of the villagers and develops close relationships with them. The novel explores themes of love, loss, sacrifice, and the impact of war on ordinary people. Gaines provides a vivid description of the village and its surroundings, as well as the daily struggles of the villagers. The novel also delves into the political and social tensions of the time, including the conflict between the French and German armies. A Village In Picardy is a poignant and moving portrayal of the human cost of war and the resilience of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
