The Long Holiday (1946; French: Les grandes vacances) is a French novel by Francis Ambrière that chronicles the lives of French prisoners of war between 1940 and 1945.[1] It was first published in 1946 and in that year was also awarded the 1940 Prix Goncourt, which previously had been missed because of the German invasion of France.[2] The novel was translated in 1948 by Elaine P. Halperin as The Long Holiday. It was reissued in a definitive version in 1956 entitled Les Grandes Vacances, 1939-1945.
