Cinq soldats français condamnés à mort en conseil de guerre, aux bras liés dans le dos. Cinq soldats qu'on a jetés dans la neige de Picardie, un soir de janvier 1917, devant la tranchée ennemie, pour qu'on les tue. Toute une nuit et tout un jour, ils ont tenté de survivre. Le plus jeune était un Bleuet, il n'avait pas vingt ans. À l'autre bout de la France, la paix venue, Mathilde veut savoir la vérité sur cette ignominie. Elle a vingt ans elle aussi, elle est plus désarmée que quiconque, mais elle aimait le Bleuet d'un amour à l'épreuve de tout, elle va se battre pour le retrouver, mort ou vivant, dans le labyrinthe où elle l'a perdu. Tout au long de ce qu'on appellera plus tard les années folles, quand le jazz aura couvert le roulement des tambours, ses recherches seront ses fiançailles. Mathilde y sacrifiera ses jours, et malgré le temps, malgré les mensonges, elle ira jusqu'au bout de l'espoir insensé qui la porte. Prix Interallié 1991

A Very Long Engagement | S'Bastien Japrisot

In this historical novel set in World War I France, a young woman suspects her fiancé did not die at the front, even though all the official evidence says he did. Heartsick, she becomes obsessed with finding out the truth. The plot is complicated, and the ending was not what I was expecting. ⬇ï¸

julieclair Although I listened on audio, I think reading the book would have been better. There were so many names of French people and places, that I had difficulty keeping track of them all, particularly since the narrator used French pronunciation. #BookedInTime @Cuilin 5mo

A short book that demands your full attention. I loved the structure of the story and enjoyed the opportunity to get to know the secondary characters. This is a beautiful story that is sure to keep you guessing right to the last page.

Mathilde has an #obsession with finding Manech whom she is convinced is still alive, contrary to what the government says. Great read in either language. #maybookshowers @RealLifeReading

One of my all-time favorite books! It has been translated into English as A Very Long Engagement and made into a movie starring Audrey Tautou. #marchintoreading #thebacksofwomen
