Description: Translated from the French by Hoyt Rogers. Winner of the French Prix Renaudot. The tale of a French town and its policeman. As if the horrors of World War I aren't enough, three deaths occur in the town--a teacher commits suicide after hearing of her lover's death in the war. A young girl is murdered and her body left by the side of the canal. And while the poiceman is investigating the girls' murder, his own wife dies in childbirth. Twenty years later, the policeman is still trying to make sense of it all.
Comments: Top right corner of dust jacket missing a patch of shiny finish where price tag was affixed.
