Through a family chronicle - some three generations of a middle-class family living on the French Atlantic coast - the author evokes the lingering heart-ache of a whole nation: the period is the interval between the two wars.

3.0 out of 5 stars French Life, 8 April 2003

By	Mrs AD Woodhouse (Bromley, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fields of Glory (Hardcover)

This slim volume catches the imagination with long descriptive passages about French life, 2CVs, rain, etc. Set in and around Nantes it unravels the history of a typically eccentric family. Gradually the younger members of the family become aware of what happened to the grandparents' generation during and after the First World War and how those events still hang over France. Told in slightly muddling flashback style, there is much comedy and much pathos. Well worth reading, if only for a marvellous picture of the French.
