French Academician and Nazi sympathizer Paul-Jean Husson writes a letter to his local SS officer in the autumn of 1942.
Tormented by an illicit passion for Ilse, his German daughter-in-law, Husson has made a decision that will devastate several lives, including his own.
The letter is intended to explain his actions. It is a dramatic, sometimes harrowing story that begins in the years leading up to the war, when following the accidental drowning of his daughter, Husson's previously gilded life begins to unravel.
And through Husson's confession, Romain Slocombe gives the reader a startling picture of a man's journey: from pillar of the French Establishment and World War One hero to outspoken supporter of Nazi ideology and the Vichy government.
Romain Slocombe is a writer, director, translator, illustrator, cartoonist, and photographer. He was born in Paris in 1953.

AUTHOR: Romain Slocombe is a writer, director, translator, illustrator, cartoonist and photographer. He was born in Paris in 1953. When interviewed recently, Romain explained, 'It was only as an adult that I discovered that my mother had been concealing her Jewish heritage from her new family her whole married life. I found correspondence from my paternal grandparents that proved that many French people at the time were anti-Semitic. This spurred me on to study the period and it's problems in greater depth, and to reflect upon what it might have meant for a French conformist couple to find themselves with a Jewish daughter-in-law.'
