Marie ne connaissait pas la date exacte de sa naissance. Johannes, le vieux pâtre de Maslafon, l'avait trouvée endormie parmi les brebis un matin d'automne 1901. Il la baptisa "Marie des brebis" et l'aima comme sa fille. Près d'un siècle plus tard, cette même Marie, en sa grande vieillesse, confie sa vie à Christian Signol. Il l'écoute avec passion et nous offre un livre audio qui fleure bon le laurier sauvage des Causses, le miel et l'orange de Noël. L'existence de Marie, toute simple et modeste, rythmée par les saisons et les bouleversements de l'histoire, est une formidable leçon de courage et d'humanité, comme si parfois la vérité n'était jamais aussi juste que dans la bouche des plus humbles.

Living day-by-day, Saru gives little thought to the future or the course his life might take. But Saru’s fortunes change overnight....
