Title : The Blue Bicycle, volume 6 - The Last Hill, 1950-1954 - Régine Deforges - Book

Summary :

Returning from Indochina in 1949, Léa and François Tavernier aspire only to lead a peaceful life in their beautiful Bordeaux estate. However, General de Lattre quickly calls on François, disturbing their rest: he wants to entrust him with a secret mission to the Viet Minh, in the hope of warding off the impending military disaster.
The two husbands and lovers will get lost there, find each other again, and then get lost again... From Saigon - the city of all pleasures and all intrigues - to Hanoi, passing through the lands of rice paddies transformed into minefields, the disorder of passions will compete everywhere with the violence of combat. And, in the jungle, death lies in wait at every step; passion too, embodied in the person of Kien, the handsome mixed-race man who has fallen in love with Léa...
Faced with all sorts of dangers, swept away by the turmoil of a conflict as cruel as it is pointless, will Léa and François preserve their love? And it is among the tragic and fascinating settings of a war evoked with accents of striking truth that the author of La Bicyclette bleue will keep his heroes and his reader breathless until the very end!
