In an interview with a police inspector, Finne recounts the dramatic events that took place when he was a ten-year-old boy. He tells the tale of a child caught between Nazi collaboration and the underground resistance. The truth becomes complicated as the investigator turns up surprising evidence from an unlikely source that sheds light on the historical facts. Finne’s confession suddenly becomes a pivotal event in the lives of more than one man.’ (from rear wrap)
