The Blue Bicycle

World War II is about to erupt in Europe and will alter the course of millions of lives. Lea Delmas, beautiful young daughter of a Bordeaux vineyard owner, is captivating but headstrong. The news that Hitler has attacked Poland is of secondary importance to her. More startling is the announcement that her beloved Laurent is going to marry his cousin Camille. The Blue Bicycle is an epic novel that takes the reader back to France at the start of World War II, seen through the eye of one of modern literature's most memorable heroines. All the drama of those frantic chaotic days is relived by the reader as the uprooted Delmas family is thrown upon its animal courage in its struggle to maintain a rapidly vanishing lifestyle.
