Jeanne's story. Her father fell in the Great War, leaving Solange to bring up three daughters single-handedly. In 1939, Jeanne married Louis, an infantry officer, the man of her dreams. The same day, Louis's brother, Marc, married Hélène, Jeanne's sister. A memorable double wedding. Smiling photographs, to confort and soon, to regret. War broke out. The world began to hunt down happiness and stamp it out. Louis was taken off to POW camp in Germany. Jeanne was twenty. Happiness deserted her, to be replaced by solitude and desire. Fleetingly, Louis had awoken her sensuality. She refused to relinquish her extravagant gift for life and love.
