«J'aurais dû épouser Marcel» is a collection of short stories by Françoise Xenakis, published by Editions De Borée in paperback (224 pages, in French).
In interwar France, the "white widows" of Sologne are young women engaged to soldiers who never returned from the front; in exchange for a modest pension, they live in chastity and tend to the church and abandoned graves. Françoise Xenakis brings together these realist stories to portray with emotion a society marked by loss.
This title from the Terre de poche collection was published on June 8, 2012.
Recommended for readers interested in realist fiction and the historical memory of rural 20th-century France.
