The book is a ‘diary’ of a year or so spent in France by a Frenchwoman and her young son in the 1940s.
Madeleine is from Paris, but is living in a small village, where everything is strange. She has to cope with animals, eccentric neighbours, and the fact that her son is a child actor, involved in filming the very successful movie The Fallen Idol with Ralph Richardson.
Told in a very distinctive style, the book was very popular in its day. It captures a time and place with great skill and deserves to be read today.
