About This Book

The novella follows villagers who band together during a time of wartime terror to ambush enemy parties, seize supplies, and perform feats of strength, then return home to face tensions stirred by an occupying officer's attentions toward a parish woman that ignite jealousy and violent reprisals. It alternates episodes of skirmish and communal labor, depicting farewells, male camaraderie, moral conflict over revenge, and an uneasy transition to peacetime as families reunite and loss is remembered.
