Summary: "You No Longer Count" by René Boylesve is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book appears to explore the personal and societal upheaval experienced during World War I, as it follows the protagonist Odette Jacquelin, a young woman grappling with the impact of war on her life and her marriage to Jean, a reserve officer. The narrative delves into themes of love, loss, and the transformation of personal identities amid the backdrop of a global conflict. At the start of the story, Odette experiences a disorienting moment of memory and reflection following an illness. As she lies in bed, her mind drifts back to her carefree days spent in a close-knit circle of friends preparing for the summer, unaware of the war's imminent arrival. The narrative captures the warmth of her domestic life before the sudden onset of conflict and impending loss, highlighted by her burgeoning love for Jean and their shared experiences. With the declaration of mobilization, Odette's world is irrevocably fractured, and her blissful past begins to recede into the background, signaling the beginning of her emotional struggle as she faces the realities of a soldier's life for her husband.
