"Nous étions quatre. Angélique, qui, Dieu sait, n'avait rien d'un ange, Morgane, qu'on qualifierait aujourd'hui de "haut potentiel", Jasmine, charitablement renommée "la fille de la femme de ménage" dans les journaux et le rapport de police, et Sarah Leroy. À moins que vous n'ayez passé les vingt dernières années à hiberner dans un igloo au Groenland, il est de toute évidence inutile de présenter Sarah Leroy."

"Max Werner kam neben eine junge Russin zu sitzen, die er zum ersten Mal sah, - ihren langklingenden Namen überhörte er bei der Vorstellung, doch wurde sie von den anderen einfach als Fenia oder Fénitschka angeredet. In ihrem schwarzen nonnenhaften Kleidchen, das fast drollig unpariserisch ihre mittelgroße ganz unauffällige Gestalt umschloss und eine beliebte Tracht vieler Züricher Studentinnen sein sollte, machte sie zunächst auf ihn keinerlei besonderen Eindruck."

Mais la puissance d'évocation de cette œuvre est telle qu'elle résiste à toute censure. Écrit au présent, avec une sobriété qui souligne l'horreur quotidienne du front et de la vie dans les tranchées, ce roman nous interpelle du fin fond de l'enfer, dans la plus déchirante intimité.

Beth will live happily ever after with her little girl and her soulmate. Cath will go back to her abusive husband. And these two women will never cross paths. But you will be wrong.

Adine ist in Paris Künstlerin geworden.
