Welcome to Litsy!

This a painful and emotional read. Fear, pain, avoidance, faith, hope all gathered into this 50 pages of writing. Duras. 40 years after the prisoners, deported and soldiers arrive in Paris as Berlin burns is blunt but poignant. Luminous with black holes of despair. Sentences where the best of people is overshadowed by the worst, by indifference and the will to move on and forget. #readinginFrenchJuly

This is hard to read especially now. In this time. Duras waits for her deported lover to come back along with the families of soldiers. The pain of the waiting, the pain of the news, the pain of what you imagine. Also the indifference of the administrative staff to the returning soldiers, deported, prisoners, who want to move on, to forget. The English title is deceptive. Douleur aka Pain is better. Stage 21, the end of the Tour.

New book. Question @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage or @4thhouseontheleft would this work for #booked2019 soldier?
