1 journaler for this copy...
I read it long ago, after having seen the film in the cinema firstly.
On the cover: Set during and after the First World War, it tells the story of a young woman's search for her fiancé, whom she believes might still be alive despite having officially been reported as "killed in the line of duty". Unable to walk since childhood, fearless Mathilde Donnay is undeterred in her quest as she scours the country for information about five wounded French soldiers who were brutally abandoned by their own troops.
