A superbly well-written book, with delicacy. Originality of subject: the story of a mad escapade shared by Colette and Henry. She, former deportee, a widow, and Jewish bourgeoisie. He, former fighter pilot in the RAF, war wounded. They crossed once during the war. They recross in a station, leaving both separately to retirement spicy. They finally decide to leave together for another train to Italy and then to Oléron. Youth memories and fantasy carpe diem for the new couple, the birth of a tender love twilight of the two lovers. Note the unforgettable encounter of an old Japanese couple (former kamikaze). A novel hailed among the finalists of the 10th Salon du Premier Roman in Draveil.
