"This is a Borzoi book.".
"When war breaks out in Europe in 1939, the young, unknown writer Samuel Beckett journeys from his home in neutral Ireland to conflict-ridden Paris and is drawn into the maelstrom. He experiences the hardships in Europe during the Nazis' rise to power. Describes his friendships with James Joyce and other luminaries; his quietly passionate devotion to the Frenchwoman who will become his lifelong companion; his secret work for the French Resistance and narrow escapes from the Gestapo; his flight from occupied Paris to the countryside; and the rubble of his life after liberation."--
