A Very Long Engagement
A Very Long Engagement | S'Bastien Japrisot
7 posts | 21 read | 17 to read
During the First World War five French soldiers, accused of a cowardly attempt to evade duty, are bundled into no man's land and certain death. Five bodies are later recovered; the families are notified that the men died in the line of duty... After the war Mathilde, the fiance of one of the men, receives a letter which hints at what might have happened, and she sets off to discover the fate of her beloved amid the carnage of battlefield. Her quest becomes an unusual and engrossing thriller as she discovers an increasing number of people trying to put her off the scent. A Very Long Engagement is a suspenseful thriller and one which transforms a personal tragedy into the epitome of all wartime atrocities. The dnouement, when it finally happens, is moving and horribly convincing.

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
