Seasons of the Moon

English

By (author): Julien Aranda

Translated by: Roland Glasser

At the close of World War II, a chance encounter sets the course for one mans destiny

During the Nazi occupation, fifteen-year-old Paul Vertune, the sensitive son of wheat farmers, prefers gazing at the ocean and contemplating lifes mysteries over toiling in the fields of the Brittany coast. One fateful day, Pauls life is spared by a compassionate German soldier with eyes as blue as the sea. When Pauls village is liberated, an angry mob turns against their occupiers. The German soldier, near death, asks Paul to promise him one thing: find his daughter and tell her that her father loved her.

As Paul becomes a man, he fulfills his childhood dream of sailing the world, even as twists of fate steer his life in unexpected directions. But through it all, Paul never forgets his promise.

Beautifully moving and deeply profound, Seasons of the Moon evokes a sense of wonder at the mystery of human connection and the powerful ripple effects of kindness.
