The Forests Of The Night by Jean-Louis Curtis
A penetrating, often ironic portrait of provincial France under German occupation that follows the tangled lives of ordinary townspeople as they navigate survival, compromise and conscience; through a series of interwoven episodes the novel exposes petty ambition, opportunism and hypocrisy alongside acts of resistance and courage, offering a moral critique of a society whose routines and social codes enable collaboration and self‑preservation even as values are eroded by war.
