Wikipedia
The Water of the Hills (L'Eau des collines) is a two-volume novel by the French writer and director Marcel Pagnol, made up of Jean de Florette and Manon des sources, both originally published in 1963. It was first translated in English in 1966, under the title Manon of the Springs.
The books tell a tale of deception, betrayal and revenge, set in the hills of the massif de l'Étoile, near Pagnol’s home city of Marseille in southern France, in the early 20th century.
It is adapted from Pagnol’s 1952 film Manon of the Spring, augmented with the prequel first part. A new adaptation of the complete novel was directed by Claude Berri in 1986, with the two films Jean de Florette and Manon des sources.
