An Act of Peace - Hardcover
Klaus-Pierre is the love-child of a young Frenchwoman and a senior, married German officer. Klaus-Pierre never knew his father, who was killed before he was born, and his mother was rejected by her family of patriots and resistance workers. Cared for by his German family, Klaus-Pierre is loved and happy—but as he grows up in a Europe where old enemies are learning to cooperate, he tries to make his own "Act of Peace" with his French relatives. The result is a horrifying confrontation between the two families when they meet in Provence.

Ann Widdecombe's impressive novel...... Widdecombe skilfully and often movingly uses the boy's struggle with his own painful history to throw light on the troubled years between 1945 and the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. -- Margaret Walters * THE SUNDAY TIMES * It's a good read with a convincing plot -- Anne Sebba * THE JEWISH CHRONICLE * she can spin a good story.... warm in tone and wryly observant. -- Kate Saunders * THE TIMES *
