Ça brûle à Saint- Leup , petit village de la région angevine, où se déclenche une série d'incendies criminels. Au premier rang des pompiers volontaires, Bertrand Colu, dit « Tête de drap » depuis qu'il porte en permanence un passe-montagne pour dissimuler son crâne défiguré par un coup de lance-flammes en 1940.Ça brûle aussi chez les Colu , depuis que l'amour d'Eva pour son mari Bertrand s'est changé en haine pour ce « monstre » qu'il est devenu, qu'elle ne lui adresse plus la parole sinon pour lui demander de la libérer enfin de sa présence, que l'atmosphère est devenue étouffante au sein du foyer. Entre Bertrand, le taiseux,qui supporte sans rien dire toutes les vilenies de sa femme et dont chacun dans le village admire le courage, et Eva qui refuse de perdre sa jeunesse à côté de lui, il y a Céline, leur fille de seize ans, qui adore son père mais aime aussi sa mère , qui subit cette violence au quotidien et refuse de choisir entre ses deux parents. C'est elle qui raconte l'histoire. L'Huile sur le feu entremêle donc intrigue policière (qui est le pyromane?) et roman psychologique , avec, autour du trio principal, toute une galerie de personnages comme on peut en voir dans ces petits villages de campagne où tout le monde se connaît et où les commérages vont bon train... Hervé Bazin dresse aussi un tableau très réaliste de ces terres d'Anjou où il est né et a vécu toute sa vie, avec une précision et un vocabulaire régional qui fleure bon les années d'après guerre ( le roman date de 1954) : « Le vent s'engouffre dans sa blouse à poche qui se gonfle dans le dos comme un ballon. Il marche sur un demi-cent de bons clous qui rabotent la terre et, pour le mieux signaler encore à l'attention d'éventuels clients, sa culotte-à-choux de grosse toile, jetée par dessus ses houseaux, imite le bruit de la râpe à betterave. » It's burning in Saint- Leup, a small village in the Anjou region, where a series of arsons are breaking out. In the front row of the volunteer firemen, Bertrand Colu, known as "Tête de drap" since he always wears a balaclava to hide his skull disfigured by a flamethrower shot in 1940.The Colu family is also on fire, since Eva's love for her husband Bertrand has turned into hatred for the "monster" he has become, since she no longer speaks to him except to ask him to finally free her from his presence, since the atmosphere in the home has become stifling. Between Bertrand, the silent one, who puts up with all his wife's naughtiness without saying a word and whose courage is admired by everyone in the village, and Eva who refuses to lose her youth next to him, there is Céline, their sixteen-year-old daughter, who adores her father but also loves her mother, who suffers from this violence on a daily basis and refuses to choose between her two parents. It is she who tells the story. L'Huile sur le Feu (Oil on the Fire) intertwines police intrigue (who is the arsonist?) and a psychological novel, with, around the main trio, a whole gallery of characters as can be seen in these small country villages where everyone knows each other and where gossip is rife... Hervé Bazin also paints a very realistic picture of these lands of Anjou where he was born and lived all his life, with a precision and a regional vocabulary which smells good the years after the war (the novel dates from 1954): "The wind rushes in his pocket blouse which inflates in the back like a balloon. He walks on a half-cent of good nails that plane the earth and, to better signal him to the attention of possible customers, his breeches of big canvas, thrown over his houseaux, imitate the noise of the beet grater."
