Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Haunted by a dark childhood, a former war orphan and Russian exile in France searches for information about his heritage, which may be linked to French fighter pilot Jacques Dorme, an escaped POW who fell in love with a nurse in Stalingrad and lost his life in a heroic act of sacrifice.
Review:
"Makine handles this moving story's tricky time shifts expertly....And nobody surpasses Makine as a maker of stunning visuals...which subtly underscore his narrative's plangent romantic momentum. As the Russian-born French author's dual literary citizenship suggests, he may really be both his generation's Chekhov and its Proust."
Kirkus, 12/15/2004
Review:"[A] poignant, tender ode to the power of wartime love....[A] fitting conclusion to Makine's distinguished trilogy."
