The Light from the Dark Side of the Moon

By Norman G. Gautreau

Book Overview

A poignant novel of love, loss, and remembrance set against the backdrop of WWII. Ninety-two-year-old Henry Budge escapes a rehab facility to return to France for the 70th D-Day observance. Haunted by a decades-old grief, he seeks to rekindle memories of lodie Bedier, a French Resistance fighter he loved during the war.

Reliving his wartime experiences, Henry confronts the past: his parachute jump into Normandy, his love affair with lodie, fighting alongside the Resistance, and a fateful decision to rescue children from the Holocaust. As Henry retraces his steps, shocking discoveries challenge his memories, forcing him to question what is real and what is imagined. Will he find peace, or will the ghosts of the past consume him?
