520    Anselme Rochefort has built an empire manufacturing serge 
       de Nîmes, or denim. His biggest client? Levi Strauss. As 
       the craze for blue jeans begins to sweep the globe, 
       Rochefort Industries seems poised for untold success. But 
       Anselme can be as cruel and ruthless with his family as he
       is in business. The Rocheforts' neighbor Donatien Rouvière
       has one of the region's most prosperous farms and is 
       desperate for a son to carry on his legacy. After the 
       births of three daughters, the Rouvières adopt an orphan 
       from the Sisters of Charity convent and raise him as their
       own. When Anselme suggests uniting the two families by 
       arranging for their children to marry, it seems like the 
       perfect match. But as the lives of the two clans grow 
       increasingly intertwined, dark secrets come to light, 
       including the mysterious circumstances of the death of 
       Anselme's eldest daughter. With The Rocheforts, Christian 
       Laborie weaves a captivating tale of deceit, intrigue, and
       the dynamic tension between industrialization and a way of
       life rooted in the land.
