Grey Souls jellemzők
France, December 1917. Daily life goes on in small town near the front, despite the pounding of artillery fire and the parade of wounded strangers passing through its streets. But any lingering sense of normality is destroyed with the discovery of a strangled ten-year-old girl in the freezing canal. A young deserter is convicted of her murder and executed, and the case seems closed.
But years later, struggling with the tragedies and demons of his own past, the narrator is still trying to make sense of these events. Excavating thetown's secret history, however, will bring neither peace nor justice.
A bestseller in France and winner of the Prix Renaudot, Grey Souls is an atmospherie tale by the author of Brodeck's Report and Monsieur Linh and his Child.
