A Very Long Engagement
In 1919, Mathilde was 19 yrs old. Her fiancé Manech left for the front. Like numerous others he had been"killed on the field of battle" It's written to the official note in white and black. However, Mathilde refuses to trust it. If Manech had died, she would know. She moans to her intuition as tightly as she would on hope's last thread linking her to her lover. An former sergeant tells her in vain that Manech died in a trench called Bingo Crepescule's no man's land, in the business of four other men condemned to die for self-inflicted wounds. Mathilde isn't frightened although her path ahead is filled with barriers. Anything is possible to somebody who is prepared to challenge fate...
