The Foundling Boy

In a quaint village in post-war France, a young boy's journey unfolds with charm and adventure. As summer warmth envelops the countryside, the boy navigates the complexities of friendships, first loves, and the bittersweet nature of growing up. Each day brings a new lesson, whether it’s discovering the thrill of mischief or the pangs of heartbreak.

Michel Déon's masterful storytelling, brought to life in this first English translation, captures the essence of youth’s innocence while painting a vivid portrait of a world recovering from turmoil. With lyrical prose, readers are invited into a world of nostalgia, hope, and the enduring spirit of a foundling boy seeking his place.
