Synopsis of A Very Long Engagement
En el invierno de 1917, cinco soldados franceses son sometidos a un consejo de guerra y enviados a tierra de nadie. Días después, cinco cadáveres reciben sepultura. Tras la guerra, la prometida de uno de los hombres se propone descubrir lo que ocurrió. 'Un compromiso muy largo' se convierte en un thriller inusual y fascinante cuando descubre que un número creciente de personas intentan disuadirla. El logro de Japrisot es haber escrito una novela que es a la vez un thriller de suspense y que transforma un pequeño incidente en el epítome de todas las atrocidades de la guerra. El desenlace, cuando finalmente ocurre, es conmovedor y horriblemente convincente.

About the author
Sébastien Japrisot
Sébastien Japrisot was a French author, screenwriter and film director. His pseudonym was an anagram of Jean-Baptiste Rossi, his real name. Renowned for subverting the rules of the crime genre, Japrisot broke down the established formulas "into their component pieces to re-combine them in original and paradoxical ways." Some critics argue that though Japrisot's work may lack the explicit experimental element present in the novels of some of his contemporaries, it shows influences of structuralist theories and the unorthodox techniques of the New Novelists.
