Amazon Publishing Seasons of the Moon
At the close of World War II, a chance encounter sets the course for one man’s destiny… During the Nazi occupation, fifteen-year-old Paul Vertune, the sensitive son of wheat farmers, prefers gazing at the ocean and contemplating life’s mysteries over toiling in the fields of the Brittany coast. One fateful day, Paul’s life is spared by a compassionate German soldier with eyes as blue as the sea. When Paul’s village is liberated, an angry mob turns against their occupiers. The German soldier, near death, asks Paul to promise him one thing: find his daughter and tell her that her father loved her. As Paul becomes a man, he fulfills his childhood dream of sailing the world, even as twists of fate steer his life in unexpected directions. But through it all, Paul never forgets his promise. Beautifully moving and deeply profound, Seasons of the Moon evokes a sense of wonder at the mystery of human connection and the powerful ripple effects of kindness.

Este relato une el amor con el canto a la vida a partir de la historia de Paul Vertune, un joven sensible e idealista que crece en el entorno hostil del rechazo paterno y la Francia ocupada, realidad de la que huye a través de un riquísimo mundo imaginario. Pero el encuentro con un oficial nazi en un claro del bosque cambia por completo su horizonte. Sin renunciar al optimismo y la confianza en el ser humano, el joven parte entonces a descubrir el mundo y afrontar todo tipo de obstáculos.
