This is a badly written book. İts fantastic imaginary world efface authors thinkings about war, God, human or being. Actually there are not any important ideas at all worth to consider. Germain' or her characters' claims about God do not deserve any serious theodicy. Prussians and Germans transform metaphysical enemies(of France),beyond their historical identities. The plot full of incests. Poor reader hardly follows ill-omened genealogy...Language and narration also corrupts throughout the book.
