When three students interview an elderly man for a school project, he decides to write them a long letter about his life in his small village in France after its occupation by German troops--and about the secret friendship he and his brother had with a German soldier. At once poignant, thoughtful, and laced with humor, the book offers readers an unusual perspective on history.
