Innocence

It is June 1945. The war is over. Early one morning as dawn breaks over the hills of Provence, Pierrot, a 15-year-old by hunting for snails, stumbles across the body of Capitaine Patrocle, a hero of the local Resistance. He has been murdered.In the dead man's wallet Pierrot finds a letter, written on blue paper, which he conceals beneath his beret. It provides the key to the dramatic events that lie at the heart of this haunting and unforgettable story of illicit passions and pitiless revenge, and leads, ultimately, to the boy's association with the beautiful Madame Henry and to his introduction to the mysteries of love.
