Regain by Jean Giono
Second Harvest
The story follows a small, desolate village in Provence that is on the brink of abandonment until a resilient farmer named Panturle decides to stay and revive it. With the help of a wandering knife-grinder and a woman named Arsule, Panturle works tirelessly to bring life back to the barren land. Through their determination and hard work, they manage to cultivate the soil, plant crops, and attract new settlers, ultimately transforming the village into a thriving community once again. The narrative beautifully captures the themes of perseverance, the connection to the land, and the power of human resilience.
