Prodige du cœur by Charles Silvestre
"Prodige du cœur" by Charles Silvestre is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Claire Lautier, who has dedicated her life to caring for her late brother’s son, Simon, on their family estate called Les Ages. The narrative explores themes of love, loss, and the bond between a caretaker and a child, intertwining rural life with deep emotional undercurrents. The opening of "Prodige du cœur" immerses the
reader in the pastoral setting of the Ages, where Claire Lautier manages the estate and raises her nephew Simon, whose mother has largely been absent from his life. We learn about Claire's hard work, her gentle love for Simon, and the shadow of her deceased family members. As she navigates daily life, she reflects on her late brother and her own sacrifices, foreshadowing the emotional turmoil to come with the impending arrival of Simon's mother, Louise Lautier. The rich descriptions of the landscape juxtaposed with Claire's inner thoughts set a poignant tone for the story, hinting at the conflicts and changes that lie ahead as the family dynamic shifts when Louise returns.
