I discovered this book after seeing the movie. I recommend it to all who love Jeunet because he seems to have been heavily influenced by Japrisot. This novel, quite short, tells a love story embedded in the pain of war. From page to page, is approached Mathilde character a little mischievous but touched easily, so we can not help but to follow from page to page, desperately searching for his lover. The only negative I would give is that you can get lost in all the stories told by various characters. Nevertheless, the novel is well put together and was also very well brought to the screen ...
