a delightfully antiphrastic title ...

The quiet France "-third part of a trilogy that began with" variable geometry. "- A political novel and Nogent-les-Chartreux provincial town seemingly" quiet and anonymous ", becomes the microcosm of a" depression in France. " If murder is a "pretext", it allows the author of a literary point of view, to construct a narrative that combines realism, suspense, dramatic progression and change views

As in "dry mode" the previous novel of Olivier Bordaçarre, the text is passed through bright gaps. This is the explosive force of love, the lifeblood of music

The novel opens with a horror sequence, it ends with an idyllic scene, such Edenic dream like epilogue that beyond the contingencies will reach Paul and Nadine "on free and beautiful simplicity".
