“The Mirror of Our Sorrows” is a new book by Pierre Lemaître, the completion of his trilogy, which opens with the famous “Goodbye up there.” It is dedicated to the “Phantom War” (the initial period of World War II), which plunged France into chaos. The war sharply highlights the underside of human nature: the Wehrmacht troops are advancing, heroes and deserters, people of duty and speculators, frightened ordinary people and adventurers of all stripes are involved in a stampede. In the center of events is the same Louise Delmont - the girl who once helped Edouard Pericourt make fantastic masks so that he could hide his face, disfigured by the explosion. Now she is thirty years old. But why is this calm and balanced beauty suddenly running naked along Montparnasse Boulevard?.. Why does she go on an endless journey through a devastated country? Where will the unusual heroes of the book cross paths and what role will the state treasury bag filled with packs of hundred-franc bills play in all this? For the first time in Russian!
