After the death of her only son, Michel, Madame Genet withdraws into grief. When his widow returns to the village with a child, she will not acknowledge either of them. The matter, she insists, is closed. 

But Martine, who has spent her life in Madam Genet's service, keeping the Big House in order and its silences intact, remembers otherwise. And a memory, once stirred, is not easy to set aside. 

Set in 1930s rural France, Family Matters is a gripping novelette showcasing the power of love and friendship in overcoming grief and bitterness. Perfect for readers who enjoy historical fiction!
