“[An] astonishingly frank memoir of self-discovery and
self-loathing.” –The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Says as much about the events in Normandy in 1944 as do many of
the far weightier texts that it can honorably sit beside.”
–The Economist

with the haunting that forever chases the abused child, long after
that child becomes an adult.” –Rocky Mountain News
“This dark story, in the tradition of Maupassant, is a miracle:
gaiety, imagination, the drive to understand, and also tenderness.
. . . It has perhaps never been better show how war continues long

内容简介
On June 6, 1944, Frederick Giesbert, assigned to the American
army’s 29th division, landed on bloody Omaha Beach, Normandy, an
experience from which he never recovered. Three years later,
Frederick had returned to his hometown of Chicago, married to a
French girl. But when the seemingly happy couple moved to Normandy
to make a home with their baby, something in Frederick snapped, and
he turned cruel and violent. His son, Franz-Oliver, spent his
childhood doing everything he could to defy his father. The
American is a son’s fiercely honest and emotionally gripping
story of a search for paternal understanding and forgiveness.
