Used book – Noah's Child, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

“— We'll make a deal, shall we? You, Joseph, will pretend to be Christian, and I will pretend to be Jewish. It will be our secret, the greatest of secrets. You and I could die betraying this secret. Swear? — I swear.” 1942. Joseph is seven years old. Separated from his family, he is taken in by Father Pons, a simple and righteous man who does more than just save lives. But what is he trying to preserve, like Noah, in this world threatened by a flood of violence? A short and moving novel in the vein of Monsieur Ibrahim and Oscar and the Lady in Pink.
