Jacob is a gentle and cheerful Jewish boy growing up in French colonial Algeria in the 1940s. Educated and sensitive in a world of harsh, hot-tempered, and uneducated men, he is drafted in June 1944 to help liberate France. His family knows nothing about the war he is about to face. These modest, poor, and rough people eagerly await the return of their prodigal son--their pride, a brave man and a hero. They are unaware, however, that historical events will soon unfold, leading to the exile of the entire family. Val rie Zenatti's luminous writing, her vitality, and the empathy she shows for her characters give the novel a special depth and power.
