Summary

Avec son style inimitable, Philippe Jaenada reprend mi-nutieusement les éléments du dossier d'un meurtre d'enfant et révèle que, par intérêt, lâcheté, indifférence ou bêtise, tout le monde a failli, ou menti. Alors il se penche sur Solange, la femme de l’Étrangleur, seule et vibrante lumière dans la noirceur. À travers ce fait divers extraordinaire, il fait le portrait de la société française des années 1960, ravagée par la Seconde Guerre mondiale mais renaissante et, légère seulement en apparence, printemps trompeur de celle qui deviendra la nôtre.

Impressive

Through amazing research and with his very recognisable style, Jaenada gives a comprehensive account of a 1960's 'fait divers' in France and tries honestly to separate truth and....the rest. As usual (and this reminds us of Pauline Dubuisson in La Petite Femelle) he has great empathy for those who get 'chewed and spat back out' by the system such as Solange Léger here. He investigates, puts himself in other people's shoes, lives his life and tells us about it which informs us of his own personal context at the time of writing. It's impressive and addictive.
