520 _a"Les heures longues, 1914-1917" by Colette is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book provides a poignant exploration of life during World War I, focusing on the personal experiences and reflections of various characters as they navigate the impacts of war on their lives and society. Central to the narrative are figures connected by the war's unfolding events, capturing the blend of everyday life with the pervasive atmosphere of conflict and loss. The opening of the novel introduces the setting of Saint-Malo in August 1914, a time when the prospect of war seems distant and almost unreal. As the narrative unfolds, we witness a gradual awakening to the harsh realities of war through the eyes of different characters, such as a fishermen's widow and the townsfolk reacting to the mobilization announcement. The scenes vividly depict the emotional turmoil and confusion that accompany the onset of conflict as daily life is disrupted by the growing fear and uncertainty brought on by the war. Colette masterfully captures these moments, blending beauty with sorrow, as characters confront their new and disquieting realities while clinging to memories of peace and happiness.
