As the First World War reaches its final year, an illicit love affair is
beginning between a sixteen-year-old boy and a young woman married to a soldier
at the front. They meet secretly in her flat on the outskirts of Paris, in
cornfields and on river banks. When she receives letters from her husband, they
burn them together. Intoxicated by passion, they cannot bear to end their
affair, even when it causes a scandal among their friends and neighbours.
Instead, they hurtle towards tragedy.
Written in spare, haunting prose when Raymond Radiguet was still a teenager,
this semi-autobiographical novel became an instant bestseller and its author was
hailed as a genius before his tragic death at the age of twenty. Expressing all
the anguish and joy of adolescence, it is a work of startling imagery and subtle
beauty.
Translated by Robert Baldick with an introduction by Fay Weldon
