In the aftermath of French defeat in July 1940, twenty-year-old Jean Arnaud and
his ally, the charming conman Palfy, are hiding out at a brothel in
Clermont-Ferrand, having narrowly escaped a firing squad. At a military parade,
Jean falls for a beautiful stranger, Claude, who will help him forget his
adolescent heartbreak but bring far more serious troubles of her own.Having
safely reached occupied Paris, the friends mingle with art smugglers and
forgers, social climbers, showbiz starlets, bluffers, swindlers and profiteers,
French and German, as Jean learns to make his way in a world of murky
allegiances. But beyond the social whirl, the war cannot stay away forever...In
this sequel to the acclaimed novel The Foundling Boy, Michel Déon's hero comes
to manhood not through combat but by discovering truths about desire and
possession, sex and love, and the nuances that lie between crudely drawn battle
lines.
