At the end of June 1943, Julien enters through the window of Aunt Angèle's house, while the train he should have been on, heading for Germany, is bombed by the Allies. His wallet is found in the pocket of one of the victims. Julien will then have to attend his funeral from behind the half-closed shutters of the house of Mr Thomassin, his primary school teacher, deported for being a Communist and a Jew. It is there, in his new hiding place, in a privileged location, that he will spend his days observing life outside, but above all Cécile.
In the dramatic context of World War II, Gibrat offers us unforgettable characters, breath-taking landscapes, and a realistic chronicle of the daily lives of the inhabitants of a small French village, faced with the fear, anxiety and tragedy generated by the German occupation. Julien witnesses everything from afar, including the conflict between local resisters and the militia, and invites the reader to accompany him on his voyeuristic adventures and daring nocturnal forays through fields and empty streets. Can he come back to life, in the truest sense of the word, or will he be forever a ghost, slowly fading from the memory of his friends and acquaintances?… (mehr)
