Product Information

The story of the First World War told through the eyes of Helena, a young woman in love with a British soldier, who in her diaries tries to master words in order to describe the indescribable ... 'It sounds dreadful,' I said to him one day. 'But actually the war is the best thing that ever happened to me.' Helena's mother always said she was a born poetess. It was not a compliment. Now an old woman, Helena looks back on her life and tries to capture the past, filling notebook after notebook with memories of her respectable, rigid upbringing, her unyielding mother, her loyal father, her golden-haired brother. She remembers how, at their uncle's country house in the summer of 1914, their stately bourgeois life of good manners, white linen and afternoon tea collapsed into ruins. And how, with war, came a kind of liberation amidst the mud and rubble-and the appearance of a young English photographer who transformed her existence. Lyrical and tender, filled with images of blazing intensity, While the Gods Were Sleeping asks how it is possible to record the dislocation of war; to describe the indescribable. It is a breathtaking novel about the act of remembering, how the past seeps into our lives and how those we have lost leave their trace in the present.

Reviews
"Mortier writes so well that you are inclined to see everything else as of secondary importance" NRC Handelsblad "If Marcel Proust had a descendant somewhere in Flanders, he must have been born in Ghent" Knack "A monumental, phenomenal book" De Morgen "Splendid control of language" de Volkskrant, "Mortier is superb. . . The push and pull of ugliness and beauty Helena witnessed plays into her conviction about humanity's random and godless state of existence, as the title suggests: 'give us back our mealy-mouthed petit-bourgeois world,' she writes, knowing that such comforts have been stripped from her. . . [an] ultimately poised consideration of war's long impact on feeling and faith." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise from the UK: "A beautifully unorthodox novel of the Great War... a kaleidoscopic palette." --  Independent   "Almost too beautiful a writer... the footprint of Proust visible on every page." --  Financial Times   "Sumptuously imagined." --  Independent Best Translated Fiction 2014   "Visceral and heart-stopping...deeply and painfully moving... one of the finest war stories ever written." --  NewBooks   "Sumptuously lyrical." --  We Love this Book Other praise from Europe: "Mortier writes so well that you are inclined to see everything else as of secondary importance." --  NRC Handelsblad   "A monumental, phenomenal book." --  De Morgen   "Splendid control of language." --  de Volkskrant   "The author skillfully reconstructs the crepuscular atmosphere of an era that ends with the shipwreck of a civilization, but, paradoxically, also with the sensual awakening of a young girl." --   Figaro   "Threads the heavy folds of history with the needle of poetic sensibility." --  Livres hebdo   "'Multi-layered' is too bland a word for this subtle, sophisticated novel, which moves between different times with such aplomb that the reader never loses the thread." --  Buchmarkt, "Mortier writes so well that you are inclined to see everything else as of secondary importance." -- NRC Handelsblad   "A monumental, phenomenal book." -- De Morgen   "Splendid control of language." -- de Volkskrant   "The author skillfully reconstructs the crepuscular atmosphere of an era that ends with the shipwreck of a civilization, but, paradoxically, also with the sensual awakening of a young girl." -- Figaro   "Threads the heavy folds of history with the needle of poetic sensibility." -- Livres hebdo   "'Multi-layered' is too bland a word for this subtle, sophisticated novel, which moves between different times with such aplomb that the reader never loses the thread." - - Buchmarkt
