    I have long wanted to read this book which we have not spoken ill in 2004 on the occasion of the film (which I have not seen). This is a good opportunity to get back into the 1914 war on a subject about which little, voluntary mutilation to leave the

    A Very Long Engagement (Paperback)
    I have not dared to put 5 stars to this book, I have not read enough in my life, no "classic" of the French or foreign literature. However I use the transcendent qualifier for this book, because beyond the story itself, it made me think about ma

    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 approach

    From the first lines I hooked. Japrisot has a style. Very well written, fluid, we really enjoy reading these lines. I remember more the style history. As against the novel is a bit complicated to follow but the story remains compelling. I will contin
