Inexhaustible subject, the Second World War comes to us in a little-known corner: the exodus and the occupation every day. The hero of this novel are not really; ordinary people, little people and notable face the same reality. Gradually, in flight, loyalty or humanity no longer apply. Fear dominates. After the defeat and chaos, the enemy reveals his face and takes the place of a husband, brother or son of a prisoner. This wonderful novel recalls how the great history is, also and above all, made of small stories. More than a description of the moment, he forces the reader to think. It reminds us how easy it is to judge that we have not had to live.
