In occupied Paris in 1942, Franck, a ten-year-old boy, adores his mother and detests Simon, a man hiding because he is Jewish and whom he sees as a rival. Forced to flee together, they travel through a France at war, among racecourses, the Maquis, orphanages and the Drancy camp; from mutual distrust is born a friendship stronger than the war.
The novel originally appeared in 1981; this paperback edition from JC Lattès is from 1985.
For readers of historical fiction set in World War II and followers of Joseph Joffo.
