"Tremendous and enjoyable" - La Libre Belgique "A great success" -
La Croix April, 1940. Louise Belmont runs, naked, down the
boulevard du Montparnasse. To understand the tragic scene she has
just experienced, she will have to plunge into the madness of the
'Phoney War', when the whole of France, seized by the panic of a
new World War, descends into chaos. Alongside bistro-owner Monsieur
Jules, new recruit Gabriel and small-time crook Raoul, Louise
navigates this period of enormous upheaval and extraordinary twists
of fate, for as the Nazi's advance, the threat of German occupation
will uncover long-buried secrets and make strange bedfellows. With
his characteristic wit and verve, Pierre Lemaitre chronicles the
greatness and decline of a people crushed by circumstance. In
Mirror of Our Sorrows, the final novel in the Paris
between-the-wars trilogy, is an incandescent tale that is both
burlesque and tragic. Translated from the French by Frank Wynne
