Figure among the dead - Fréville

Novel

She worked normally, lived normally, slept without sleeping pills, what more could you ask of her? Sure, she didn't fuck anymore and hadn't had her period for several months, but that happens to lots of really good girls. Yes, her fiancé had died in Atocha, yes, it had been hard since then, yes, she was suffering. So what? Why were we no longer capable, in our society, of managing a catastrophe as a family? Why did we need these mediators, these psychiatrists, this external solidarity? Misfortune had always existed, it had always been at the door, and death even more so. Were people stupid enough to believe that tragedy now represented an anomaly, or even an injustice?
