Il fait trop beau pour faire la guerre : Correspondance entre un soldat au front et son épouse à l'arrière pendant la Première Guerre mondiale

Numerous letters and notebooks of infantrymen have already been published. But this work presents the originality and the richness to include with the letters of a soldier on the front, the answers of his wife, left alone with their daughter in a village of the Monts du Lyonnais. Beyond the conflict, these letters bring us into the intimacy of a couple separated by the turmoil of the Great War. Thus, if Jean makes us experience the living conditions of the soldiers at the front, Jeanne, for her part, tells us through her experience, the evolution of French society with the entry of women into the world of work. Simple words to describe, each one, their everyday life. A dialogue at a distance, resolutely optimistic and endowed with deep emotion.
