A bestseller in France and winner of the Prix Renaudot, Grey Souls
is a mesmerising and atmospheric tale of three mysterious deaths in
an oddly isolated French village during World War I. The placid
daily life of a small town near the front seems impervious to the
nearby pounding of artillery fire and the parade of wounded
strangers passing through its streets. But the illusion of calm is
soon shattered by the deaths of three innocents - the charming new
schoolmistress who captures every male heart only to kill herself;
an angelic ten-year-old girl who is found strangled; and a local
policeman's cherished wife, who dies alone in labour while her
husband is hunting the murderer. Twenty years later, the policeman
still struggles to make sense of these tragedies, a struggle that
both torments and sustains him. But excavating the town's secret
history will bring neither peace to him nor justice to the wicked.
