Pierre Lemaitre "We'll Meet in Heaven"

This book tells the story of Edouard and Albert, friends who survived the bloody slaughterhouse of World War I. At first glance, it seems like great happiness and fortune to have been saved and to have survived—but why do they envy their fallen comrades? The reason lies in the social and economic problems that flooded postwar France, the transformation of moral values, bureaucracy, and corruption. Pierre Lemaitre’s novel “See You Up There” is a dramatic and intriguing story about survival and justice. It has received a number of literary awards, including the prestigious Prix Goncourt.
