Human Nature

Set against the backdrop of severe storms and societal upheaval, Serge Joncour’s novel explores the evolving relationship between humans and the environment through the story of a French farming family. The narrative intertwines personal memories, such as a pivotal summer in 1976, with broader themes of political and ecological change over three decades. Ultimately, it offers a contemplative look at how rural life and nature are intertwined amidst a changing world.
