Effy Bae effycient — Although A Very Long Engagement was interesting and intriguing, it was not one of the best books I have ever read. There was, however, extremely valuable information throughout the book. I learned a ton about trench warfare and the conditions and happenings in these trenches. I feel more educated on the things that went on in the trenches and particularly the relationship between different men in the trenches. I wasn’t previously aware of neither how people stationed in the holes were treated nor how they lived, and this book helped clarify my perspective. The basis of A Very Long Engagement is a woman called Mathilde who is searching for her fiancé who, apparently, was killed in action in WWI. Doubtful of Manech’s death, Mathilde follows the faint, buried trail left by her beloved Manech. The novel can be long and dreary, though there are a few parts in which you are biting your nails. One thing about this book, however, is that it is extremely difficult to follow. It seems as though the book was originally written in French, and then translated using Google Translator (and I wouldn’t doubt that this is true). If you know or have ever used Google Translator, you know that sometimes their translations are not exactly correct; they don’t always make sense. You’ll read sentences in this book that sound like a three-year-old wrote them. Overall, I did not care much for this book. It wasn’t overwhelmingly interesting nor did I gain a tremendous amount of knowledge. I would not recommend this book to anyone, except perhaps someone who reads it in French.
