Gray Soul
About This Novel
One of the best-selling novels in France in 2003 and winner of the Renaudot Literary Prize. The gray area between good and evil, right and wrong, and black and white is the true state of most people, things, and things; Claudel builds a mill of language, stirring and mixing the fragments of life until they become a huge absurdity. On a cold winter day in 1917, a 10-year-old girl named "Morning Glory" died tragically by the river. Who killed her? I was ordered to investigate the case, and the suspicion fell on the prosecutor Mr. Detina, because the crime occurred close to his castle. But how could this reclusive and highly respected gentleman be a murderer? More than twenty years later, "I" have retired from the police force, but the unsolved mysteries continue to plague "me" until the prosecutor Detina's maid gives "me" a key to the castle. As the key turns, "I" step closer to the truth and enter the dusty past... In a northern town under the clouds of war, whose soul is dyed gray? Can "I" find the final answer in the castle?
