Among the letters of condolences for the death of her mother, Camilla receives a long message without a signature, where a certain middle-aged man writes about his childhood and about the girl with whom he was in love shortly before World War II. From that day on, letters from a mysterious anonymous person begin to arrive every week, and the story they tell becomes more and more exciting and dramatic. Having decided that these letters reach her by mistake, Camilla does not immediately understand that they are addressed specifically to her and are directly related to her. She begins an investigation, and stunning discoveries follow one after another. “Someone Died of Love” is a gripping novel within a novel. The action from 1975 is constantly transferred to pre-war and wartime, when, against the backdrop of a planetary tragedy, the tragedy of love, stopping at nothing, is played out. This debut book by 32-year-old Frenchwoman Hélène Gremillon immediately became a bestseller and won five literary awards. It has been translated into eighteen languages.
