About this Event
Hilary Wainwright, poet and intellectual, goes to a ravaged France soon after the Second World War to trace his child, lost five years’ before. Will he find him? Is the child even his? Compulsive, moving and eye-opening, this nerve-shredding novel, first published in 1949, provides fascinating insight into France immediately after a War that left 13 million European children without one or both of their parents. We did discuss this in Emily’s Walking Book Club back in 2015, but I feel it is time to revisit.

N.B. Please ensure that you have read the book BEFORE coming on the walk - or it risks spoiling the event for other walkers. If you've don't quite have time to read the book, please consider instead joining the Monday evening Zoom, for which reading the book isn't a prerequisite.
