Brodeck's Report (French: Le Rapport de Brodeck) is a 2007 novel by the French writer Philippe Claudel. The narrative investigates the murder of a mysterious man in an indefinite country just after the war. The book won the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens and the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. The location and the time are never explicit in the novel. However the parallel with World War II is obvious.

Another surprisingly excellent book which was £2 in Oxfam! The story of how an isolated mountain village copes with the aftermath of war is horribly real and all too understandable. We see through the eyes of Brodeck who was exiled to a concentration camp at the start of the war. He returned to find his name on a monument of the dead, his wife mute, and his position within the community irrevocably changed. Brodeck's Report is a powerful book of the depths to which humanity can sink when driven by hate, by fear, or by power.
