![]() A man tormented by his search for the truth, and ultimately destroyed by a dark, terrible secret. A man who ended up compromising his own morality beyond all measure, while the Second World War raged outside his front door. Soon intrigue is replaced by obsession, and dreams by nightmares, as the boundaries between the living and the dead begin to blur. And so Flavières begins to scour the streets of Paris in search of an answer – in search of a woman who belongs to no one, not even to herself. You’re no longer in the police, but when an old friend asks you to look after his wife as a favour, how can you refuse? She’s been behaving strangely, mysteriously – but she’s dazzling. Synopsis: “Do you think it’s possible to live again, Monsieur? … I mean … is it possible to die and then … live again in someone else?” First published as The Living and the Dead in Great Britain in 1956.Translated by Geoffrey Sainsbury, 1956. First published in French as D’entre les morts ( From Among the Dead), 1954. There’s still time to join in for August. The year under consideration this month has been 1954.
