Pierre and Luce
'Pierre and Luce' Summary
In the midst of war-torn Paris, two unlikely souls, Pierre and Luce, find love and solace in each other. Pierre, a conscripted pacifist grappling with the horrors of war, meets Luce, a bohemian artist struggling to find her place in the chaos. As they navigate the complexities of their own identities and the madness that surrounds them, their bond deepens. The novel explores the themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning amidst the darkness of war. Set between January 30 and May 29, 1918, it offers a poignant and reflective portrayal of the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity.Book Details
