About this ebook
Amputated of one of its members, a French family attempts to cope during World War II. Neither German collaborators nor Resistance fighters, but decidedly anti-German, Marcel and Denise are, like most French people between 1939 and 1945, passengers of history who simply try to survive.
A fictionalized short story based on family documents and oral history, Fernand: a French Family in War also draws upon scholarship to capture the essence of life in occupied France.
