In April, the book club will discuss Miroir de nos peines, by Pierre Lemaitre. Mirror of our sorrows begins April 6, 1940. It’s the funny war, then the exodus; the German army will melt on Paris but nobody, French side, sees nothing coming. Ambient hypocrisy is at its height. Little Louise, who played with Edouard Péricourt, a broken face from the Great War, grew up well and went in search of his family history during the funny war that led to the debacle. Lemaître portrays these French people who flee and become refugees during the exodus
