Title : Whiplash - Bernard Du Boucheron - book
Shortly before the Great War of 1914, a young cavalry lieutenant, Hugo de Waligny, regularly participated in hunts, where he shone with his physical courage and mastery of horsemanship. There he met Aella, a young woman renowned for her indomitable temperament, as well as her passion for money and men. A merciless rivalry would pit him against the huntsman Jérôme Hardouin, known as Coup-de-Fouet, like him an outstanding huntsman and horseman. The confrontation between the two men would find an unexpected and terrible extension with the arrival of war... Coup-de-Fouet describes a society governed by relationships where violence mixes with sensuality. Sharp as a dagger, Bernard du Boucheron's writing goes straight to the point, like his characters. In the background, the world of hunting with hounds offers a powerful metaphor for life, with its mystery, brutality, nobility, and wild poetry. Here we find the exceptional qualities which made the previous novel a great success.
