LOVE WAS FLEETING... JUST A WHIM... I HAD LOTS OF FUN... I CRIED TEARS... SOME OF JOY... OTHERS OF SORROW... THEN HE CAME INTO MY LIFE... ALL WAS ERASED... I KNOW NOW THAT I HAVE FOUND THE ONE TO PIECE BACK TOGETHER MY ONCE BROKEN SOUL.

Love was fleeting... Just a whim... I had lots of fun also cried tears.. Some of joy... Others of sorrow... Then he came into my life... all was erased... I know now that I have found the one to piece back my soul.

A tale of two torturersâ??Where I Left My Soul is a powerful exploration of guilt and identity in the savagery of the Algerian War. Captain Andre Degorce is reunited with Lieutenant Horace Andreani, with whom he experienced the horrors of combat and imprisonment in Vietnam. Captives now pass from the Captainâ??s hands into Andreani's: one-time victims have become torturers. Andreani has fully embraced his new status, but Degorce has lost all sense of himself, only finding peace when he is with Tahar, a commander in the National Liberation Army. Taharâ??s cell now acts as a confessional for Andreani, with the jailor opening up to his prisoner.
