Title: What the day owes to the night - Yasmina Khadra - 2008 - book
Summary :
France Télévisions Novel Prize 2008
"My uncle used to say to me: 'If a woman loved you, and if you had the presence of mind to measure the extent of this privilege, no divinity would come close to you.'
Oran held its breath in the spring of 1962. The war was in its final stages of madness. I was looking for Émilie. I was afraid for her. I needed her. I loved her and I was coming back to prove it to her. I felt capable of braving the hurricanes, the thunderstorms, all the curses and miseries of the entire world.
Yasmina Khadra offers us here a great novel of colonial Algeria (between 1936 and 1962) and sheds new light, in a splendid language and with the generosity for which she is known, on the atrocious dislocation of two communities in love with the same country.
"If I've been making films until now, it's surely with the prospect of one day making a story like this, and my entire experience as a filmmaker was tense with such unconscious expectation. Yasmina Khadra's novel arrived like a sign of destiny." Alexandre Arcady
