Pierre Lemaitre - See you Up There (Au revoir la-haut)

Pierre Lemaitre's "See You Up There" (originally "Au revoir là-haut" in French) delves into the poignant tale of Edouard and Albert, comrades who endured the horrors of the First World War only to discover that surviving was a mixed blessing. The novel explores the aftermath of the war, a time when France was engulfed by social and economic turmoil, moral upheaval, pervasive bureaucracy, and rampant corruption. Despite escaping the literal battlefields, Edouard and Albert find themselves confronting a new war against the societal changes that threaten to undermine the values they fought to preserve. "See You Up There" is not merely a story of survival; it is an intense exploration of justice in a world that seems to have lost its way. Why do the protagonists envy their fallen comrades? This question becomes central as the narrative unfolds, revealing the profound struggles that lie in the shadows of victory. Lemaitre, a laureate of the prestigious Goncourt Award among other accolades, crafts a narrative that is both dramatic and captivating, offering a deep, reflective look at the trials faced by those who returned home to a country they no longer recognized.
