Summary Shifting back and forth through time, tells the story of the daughter of a French woman who married an American as she struggles to understand her family's experience during World War II.
June, 1944. Over four long years the Delasalle family has struggled to live in their Nazi occupied village in Normandy, silently watching as their Jewish neighbors were arrested or disappeared. For Yvonne, thoughts of the war recede when she sees the red-haired boy bicycle past her window each afternoon. Her sister, GenevieĢ€ve, is in Paris to audition for the National Conservatory. Decades later, GenevieĢ€ve, the wife of an American musician, travels from the US to her homeland with her children, so that they may know their French family. -- adapted from jacket
