«Léon et Louise» is the romantic and historical novel by Alex Capus, published by Actes Sud in paperback (312 pages, in French).
Léon and Louise meet in a French village at the end of the First World War: he is a telegraph operator's assistant and she helps inform the families of fallen soldiers. An air raid and a lie separate them, convinced they will never see each other again. Their paths cross for decades, between Paris, the occupation and the liberation.
The French edition is from 2012 and is translated from German by Emanuel Güntzburger. The original, «Léon und Louise», made the longlist of the Deutscher Buchpreis 2011.
Suitable for readers of historical and romantic novels, especially those who appreciate love stories shaped by war.
