This book is said to be the conclusion of the trilogy ("Dreams of My Russian Summers" and "Requiem for a Lost Empire" being its forerunners) but it can definitely stand on its own too. It might not be as riveting as the other two, but it has certainly moved me as much. One of the things that I admire so much about Andrei Makine's writing style is his meticulous and thorough attention to detail - expressed is such a way as to never be boring; on the contrary, I often find myself rereading this or that line making sure I missed nothing of the elegance of expression and its on-the-dot grasp of the moment. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

In present-day France a Russian writer recalls his harsh childhood at a Stalingrad orphanage in the 1960s and the old Frenchwoman, a family friend, whose tales fed his dreams of a better world. One story in particular has stayed with him: that of her brief, passionate affair, during World War II, with the French fighter pilot Jacques Dorme, who subsequently died in a plane crash in the Siberian mountains. So the narrator decides to retrace Jacques Dorme's steps, beginning a journey which leads him not only to revisit the land of his birth but also to see his adopted homeland in an unflattering new light. A profound and moving novel about the dangers of ideology and of war, delivered with humour, sensuousness and great lyricism. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Aside: although some would say it is too similar to Le Testament Francais, I would be thrilled if every Makine book followed this same formula thematically and prose-wise. ( )
