Millennial Angst from the Previous Millennium

The best part of this book is the second half, which was a sequel to the first. The first half depicts a middle-aged Parisian woman's affair with a late-teenaged boy, and the second half focuses on that boy/man after coming back from serving in WWI to a world that no longer makes sense to him. The writing is evocative but not flowery, unsentimental and sometimes scathing.
