The Bagpipers by George Sand ~ Full Audiobook [romance]

The Bagpipers by George Sand audiobook. Genre: romance Told as a remembered tale shared during long winter work nights in the French countryside, The Bagpipers follows Etienne Depardieu, nicknamed Tiennet, as he looks back on the restless years of his youth in Berry. From the first days of catechism and village festivals, Tiennet is bound to two people who will shape his life: his sharp-minded cousin Brulette, and Joseph Picot, the withdrawn boy raised under the same roof who seems slow to everyone except those who notice how fiercely he listens to music. As the three grow older, the harmless rivalries of adolescence harden into something more dangerous. Joseph is drawn toward the secretive world of master bagpipers and wandering musicians across the border in Bourbonnais, where tradition is guarded like a craft and jealousy can turn violent. Tiennet, torn between loyalty and envy, follows the pull of friendship and love into a landscape of forests, fairs, and roadside inns, where every meeting is measured by honor, reputation, and song. Rich with folk customs and the sound of pipes in the night, Sand's novel explores how passion - for music, for belonging, for a person - can test even the oldest bonds.
