Title: The Three Seasons of Rage - Victor Cohen Hadria - book
Summary :
2011 Booksellers' Prize - French First Novel Prize 2010
A formidable catalog of the customs, beliefs, and turpitudes of the rural world, The Three Seasons of Rage, set in Normandy, is as much the novel of a 19th-century country doctor as it is a universal evocation of what drives human behavior. Weaving a teeming plot of destinies, situations, and revelations where naivety, cynicism, selfishness, greed, and desire rule, it confirms the talent of Victor Cohen Hadria, the author of The Chronicles of the Four Horizons, whose vision of the world, lucid and even pitiless, is nevertheless not devoid of humanity.
This is a novel with body and spirit, woven with violence and gentleness, written in a clear and supple language, a novel to keep in your library between Les Misérables And Dangerous Liaisons. Astrid de Larminat, Le Figaro littéraire.
