Shortly before France is invaded, Gustave and his parents flee Paris for the countryside. Lonely for the friends he left behind, Gustave also faces anti-Semitism at school and an uncertain future while the family waits for visas to immigrate to America. Action, tension, and well developed characters coupled with compelling details and beautifully crafted prose create a detailed picture of life for Jewish families in France during World War II.
