A Very Long Engagement

A Very Long Engagement | S'Bastien Japrisot

pick

In this historical novel set in World War I France, a young woman suspects her fiancé did not die at the front, even though all the official evidence says he did. Heartsick, she becomes obsessed with finding out the truth. The plot is complicated, and the ending was not what I was expecting. ā¬‡ļø¸

julieclair Although I listened on audio, I think reading the book would have been better. There were so many names of French people and places, that I had difficulty keeping track of them all, particularly since the narrator used French pronunciation. #BookedInTime @Cuilin 4mo

A short book that demands your full attention. I loved the structure of the story and enjoyed the opportunity to get to know the secondary characters. This is a beautiful story that is sure to keep you guessing right to the last page.

Mathilde has an #obsession with finding Manech whom she is convinced is still alive, contrary to what the government says. Great read in either language. #maybookshowers @RealLifeReading

One of my all-time favorite books! It has been translated into English as A Very Long Engagement and made into a movie starring Audrey Tautou. #marchintoreading #thebacksofwomen
