Dans "L'Enfant des terres blondes", Vincent, dix ans, vit dans une métairie de la vallée de la Vézère. Il va à l'école, travaille aux champs mais, quoi qu'il fasse, il ne pense qu'à sa mère, qui vit enfermée dans un silence perpétuel et qu'il imagine sans cesse menacée. Alors il court : de l'école à la maison, des champs à la ferme pour être près d'elle, veiller sur elle. Et il lui parle, il entretient le rêve de retrouver l'homme qu'elle a aimé, son père à lui, qui doit les attendre quelque part, c'est sûr.

Marie et Benjamin en sont les héros. Avec leurs familles, avec tout le petit peuple qui vit de la batellerie sur la Dordogne, de Souillac à Libourne et jusqu'à Bordeaux, ils ont vécu les années heureuses d'un métier de courage et de liberté. Puis sont venues les années sombres quand, avec le Second Empire, la répression s'est abattue sur les républicains que, tout naturellement, ils étaient, de cœur et d'esprit. Il y a eu des déportations et des morts.

Qui sont les messieurs de Grandval ? Qui sont les dames de la Ferrière ? Les sagas de Christian Signol ressuscitent souvent une France rurale en proie aux mutations qui ont bouleversé les siècles précédents. Après "Les messieurs de Grandval" et ses maîtres de forge, le romancier revient dans ce Périgord qu'il aime tant, sur les bords d'Auvézère où, en 1912, la vie s'écoulait joyeuse et insouciante malgré les menaces de guerre. Entre les fils du château et les filles du métayer, les liens se sont tissés dès l'enfance.

C'était encore le temps du bonheur, pour Marie et Benjamin. Mais déjà l'Histoire, la "grande", les rejoignait. La révolution de 1848 écrasée à Paris, une répression sourde pesait sur le pays. En décembre 1851, le coup d'état du prince Napoléon déclenche dans tout le Sud-Ouest républicain une véritable insurrection.

"Les Chemins d'étoiles" raconte l'histoire, tragique, d'un très grand amour : celui qui unit, le temps d'une année, deux enfants : Daniel, dix ans, et Lisa, neuf. Lui est juif et, en ce mois de juin 1942, sa mère vient de le confier à une famille de paysans de la vallée de la Dordogne pour le soustraire à la fureur nazie. Elle est la fille de ces fermiers qui accueillent Daniel ; elle n'est pas "comme tout le monde" : sensible à tout, elle ne sait s'exprimer. Pourtant Daniel entend l'enfant muette, partage avec elle ses rêves qui les projettent très loin, par ces chemins d'étoiles que le vieux Baptiste montre au petit garçon, et au bout desquels, sans aucun doute, il retrouvera ses parents.

Les hommes partent à la guerre ; les femmes demeurent, patientes prêtresses de la vie et de la mort.
