  • ""A bestseller in France and winner of the Prix Renaudot, By a Slow River is a mesmerizing and atmospheric tale of three mysterious deaths in an oddly isolated French village during World War I. The placid daily life of a small town near the front seems impervious to the nearby pounding of artillery fire and the parade of wounded strangers passing through its streets. But the illusion of calm is soon shattered by the deaths of three innocents-the charming new schoolmistress who captures every male heart only to kill herself; an angelic ten-year-old girl who is found strangled; and a local policeman's cherished wife, who dies alone in labor while her husband is hunting the murderer. Twenty years later, the policeman still struggles to make sense of these tragedies, a struggle that both torments and sustains him. But excavating the town's secret history will bring neither peace to him nor justice to the wicked."--Publisher's website."
  • "Durant la Grande Guerre, à côté des milliers d'hommes qui meurent chaque jour, des jeunes enfants, des femmes et des médecins sont assassinés dans l'ombre. Prix Renaudot 2003 et Grand prix des lectrices de Elle 2004 (catégorie roman)."
  • "In een stadje in Noord-Oost-Frankrijk speelt zich tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog naast het slagveld op kleine schaal een even wrede tragedie af."

  • "In this indelible meditation on morality, the daily life of a small French town is shattered by the deaths of three innocents during the First World War."
  • "During World War 1, in a small French village, the body of a 10 year old girl is discovered. Innured to the deaths of thousands on the nearby Western Front, the townsfolk are stunned by the murder of the child. The hunt for the killer is recounted by the redoubtable Dadais, a former policeman with a sharp memory."
  • ""In 1917 in a small town in Northern France a crime is committed. It is the dead of winter and the war is still being fought in the trenches, within sight and sound of the town. One freezing-cold morning, a beautiful ten-year-old girl, one of three daughters of the local innkeeper, is found strangled and dumped in the local canal. Suspicion falls on two deserters who are picked up near the town. Their interrogation and sentencing is brutal and swift. Twenty years later, the man who originally investigated the crime tries to piece together what actually happened the night the girl died."

  • "Vingt ans plus tard, un officier de police se rappelle le journée de 1917 où, dans une petite ville du nord-est de la France, alors que la Première Guerre mondiale fait rage, le corps étranglé d'une petite fille est retrouvé. Un récit hanté par le poids du temps, des remords et de l'horreur, qui raconte comment la solidarité des bourgeois du lieu entraîne la condamnation sommaire de deux déserteurs. Un livre à l'écriture sobre, d'une forte charge émotionnelle, qui a été élu par la revue ##Lire## comme le meilleur livre de l'année 2003. [SDM]."
