«Secret» is the literary fiction novel by Philippe Grimbert, published by Granta Books in paperback (162 pages, in English).
The narrator of Secret grows up in postwar Paris as the sickly only child of athletic, admired parents, and invents an imaginary older brother.

An ideal work for those seeking literary and historical fiction about family memory and the Second World War.
