"On n'ecrit pas ce qu'on veut. Le narrateur songe a cette bataille, peu connue, qui opposa Soult et Wellington en 1814, et reve d'en faire le point de depart d'un long cycle romanesque. Il en a tout le loisir, car il vient d'eloigner une femme qui l'occupait fort. Il pense pouvoir ecrire maintenant, en paix, ce qui lui plait. [...] Ce roman devrait donc se developper sur trois plans, sans cesse meles: une esquisse de la vie provinciale depuis plus d'une siecle, le portrait d'une femme malheureuse et partagee, et la decouverte de ce qui peut donner un sens a une vie. J'ai tente de composer ainsi une variation sur le bonheur, l'amour et la solitude." --Author.
