Produktbeschreibung

Haunted by the fragrant ghost of her grandmother's New Orleans apothecary, Haitian-American botanist Geneviève "Genny" Dufort arrives in Provence seeking solace and a connection to her ancestral heritage.  Drawn by the region's unique lavender varieties, her research grant becomes a quest to honor her grandmother's legacy of herbal healing. But Provence, a canvas of violet and gold, whispers secrets Genny struggles to decipher. Armand Dupuis, a French-Algerian farmer, embodies the very soul of Provence.  Bound to his family's struggling lavender estate, he carries the weight of generations past.  His connection to the land is visceral, a silent symphony of sun-baked earth and the fragrant whispers of lavender. He speaks the language of the land; Genny speaks the language of science.  Their first encounter is a collision of worlds-her meticulous data analysis clashing with his intuitive understanding of the ancient rhythms of the land. Amidst the fragrant rows, a spark ignites. Their shared passion for lavender blossoms into an unlikely alliance, a quest to cultivate a new hybrid that can withstand the looming threat of climate change. The lavender fields become their shared tongue, a silent dialogue woven with earthy aromas and vibrant hues.  But the picturesque village of Roussillon harbors secrets of its own. Whispers of "l'étrangère" follow Genny, a chilling reminder of the xenophobia that simmers beneath the surface, threatening their burgeoning romance and the fragile tendrils of their connection. As the lavender harvest approaches, so does a devastating storm, mirroring the escalating tensions within the village and the deepening intimacy between Genny and Armand. The storm becomes a catalyst, forcing the community to confront their prejudices and unite against a common enemy.  Genny's scientific knowledge, intertwined with the ancient wisdom of Provençal herbal lore, offers a chance for salvation. In the aftermath, the whispers fade, replaced by a newfound respect.  Genny, no longer an outsider, discovers a sense of belonging, while Armand embraces a future where tradition and innovation intertwine.  Under the Provençal sun, their love story unfolds, a testament to the enduring power of connection, resilience, and the intoxicating language of lavender fields.
