"I wandered beneath the rain without anguish, as if by soaking myself, I might commune with that silent country. Perhaps, in some anonymous place, Charpent's body was soaking too. Death seemed to have reconciled him with that hard land. Out there in the rain I was certain that Charpent's body had not gone back to France, that it never would return." p 104One last thing: this is only the second English language review of this book on Goodreads! Let's change that. This amazing book deserves a much wider audience.
