'A Hilltop on the Marne' is a collection of letters written by Mildred Aldrich, an American expatriate who had bought a country farmhouse near Paris in the spring of 1914. Writing to her friends back home, she describes her idyllic life in Huiry, the minutiae of her farmhouse and her daily life. Ignoring the panicked pleadings of friends that she return to the US as the political situation in Europe darkens, Aldrich stands firm in her decision to stay in France and her village, come what may.
