«Els camps de l'honor» is the historical novel by Jean Rouaud, published in hardcover, in Catalan.
The grandchildren of a family recall the gestures and quirks of their grandparents, whose existence remained suspended in the memory of the First World War. Between nostalgia and ironic distance, the narrative reconstructs the common past and the small episodes that shaped the lives of several generations.
Winner of the Prix Goncourt in 1990, it is the first installment of Jean Rouaud's family and autobiographical novel cycle. Translated by Gemma Rosell.
For readers of fiction and family stories with a wartime backdrop.
