Touchant

Histoire touchante de Joseph Joffo, enfant parisien Juif, qui avec son frere doit quitter ses parents pour rejoindre la France libre. C'est une histoire prenante, tres bien ecrite, qui raconte comment les deux freres essaient de se debrouiller pour echapper aux Allemands. Le ton est juste, touchant, plein de spontaneite et d'innocence d'enfant, ce qui fait tout son charme. Recommande.

A-level "un Sac de Billes" Joseph Joffo

As a set text it did not seem to be the most interesting of choices. However the the autobiographical style of "Jo's" life is both imaginative and capturing. Although slow in parts, the tension of the second world war keeps you gripped throughout. The quite alarming experiences forced upon the boys makes the journey you share with the author, one of the most touching stories of childhood striuggles in french literature. Certainly not what I expected.
