What does it mean to 'live in interesting times'?
Halfway up a Swiss mountain, Olivier Paul knows nothing but isolation and near slavery. Aged 15, he learns his father was an itinerant labourer and his mother came from the noble Favre family. He flees the farm to discover his roots.
Charlotte Favre rejects the status quo and campaigns passionately for a woman's right to vote. To her surprise, history professor Leon adds his voice to help persuade her fellow countrywomen. But what are his real motives?
Olivier travels to Fribourg to meet the Favres and prove he is their blood relative. His bombshell shocks Charlotte and her siblings, revealing decades of secrets and betrayal.
With Europe's fragile peace fraying, the prospect of conflict casts a threatening shadow, drawing clans closer together. Can Oliver and Charlotte escape the patterns of the past and find their own paths to happiness in the future?
Set between 1928 and 1932, The Patience of Trees follows two Favre family members fighting their own battles against the backdrop of the Wall Street Crash, the Great Depression, the rise of the National Socialists and the Spanish Civil War.
