From Kirkus: A well-crafted, fast-paced story about how a single encounter can shape a person’s whole life.
The story jumps around from a trench in WWI to the 1970s. Nick, an American soldier in France, is given two parcels by a woman artist. One is some paintings she has done, and the other is a baby!
He keeps the paintings but leaves the baby and is forever haunted by this. Years later, ill with cancer, he returns to France to try to find out what happened to the child.
He brings along Jenny, a local girl (who gave up HER child for adoption) to help him with this task, since he is sick. Their adventures are mingled with those of an Italian craftsman, Enzo. Eventually their paths meet up, and the mystery is revealed. Lots of drama in between.
But I really enjoyed reading this book!
