1 edition published in 2005 in French and held by 1,065 libraries worldwide In 1920, country girl Mathilde is living in Brittany with her aunt and uncle when she learns that her fiancé Manech was one of five French soldiers condemned to a barbarous death by their own side. Court-martialed for intentionally wounding themselves, their punishment is to be thrown into no man's land, unarmed and with their hands tied behind their backs. But Manech may have survived. Hiring a dogged old bird of a private detective and a lawyer to aid her, Mathilde is off on an adventure. She pursues her sleuthing through a flurry of letters, documents, and private interviews--hunting down the soldiers who were in the trenches with Manech--along with their lovers and relatives. She also discovers that she has a sort of doppelgänger: a Corsican prostitute pursuing a parallel investigation for another of the five, and murdering anyone who did her own beloved mate wrong. Mathilde will have to hurry to follow the clues piecing the story together before they are lost forever.

Festooning François' front door with a mezuzah, and asking to meet his parents, Michèle's passing interest in Judaism soon resembles a somewhat disturbing obsession.

2 editions published in 2007 in French and held by 6 libraries worldwide Pour Anna, 9 ans, la vie se déroule paisiblement et confortablement entre son école religieuse et la maison de ses parents, Marie et Fernando. Seule ombre à ce tableau idéal, un oncle, là-bas en Espagne, qui combat Franco. Un communiste dont il ne faut pas parler. L'arrestation et la mort de cet oncle, un voyage au Chili, quelques rencontres... Autant d'événements dont Anna ne perçoit pas l'importance, mais qui vont profondément transformer ses parents. Engagement, altruisme, combat contre l'impérialisme, féminisme, manifestations sont désormais les maîtres mots et les événements qui jalonnent la vie de Marie et Fernando. Pour Anna, cet élan parental se traduit par d'autres mots et d'autres événements. Déménagement, désorganisation, changements de nounous, appartement plus petit, nouveaux visages. Alors elle résiste, et combat avec ses faibles armes...
