Book: The Foundling Boy

Michel Deon

Book: The Foundling Boy

First published in 1975, this fine novel has waited a long time for its deserved translation into English, and tribute must be paid to Julian Evans for the flexible touch he has applied to capturing not only the quality of the prose but also the intercessionary voice of its creator.

Deon himself is an active if occasional presence in an intriguing tale of a young man born to unknown parents in a French village between the First and Second World Wars.
