About this book

In a small French town after the First World War, a decorated soldier sits in prison while his dog waits outside the door. A military judge must discover what act transformed a war hero into an accused man. Jean-Christophe Rufin builds a spare, suspenseful novel around loyalty, conscience and the political uses of patriotism, gradually revealing how one apparently simple offence contains a larger judgement on violence, obedience and honour. Originally written in French as “Le Collier rouge”, the work appears here in an Arabic translation by Rita Barish.
