This is an adaptation of the first four books in Janine Boissard's six-book series, "L'esprit de famille" (The Spirit of Family). It tells the story of a family: the father, Charles, a general practitioner in Mareuil, near Pontoise, his wife, and their four daughters: Claire, Bernadette, Pauline, and Cécile. Pauline, the third daughter, recounts a little over two years in her family's life, first loves, life, death, friendship, work, and family.
