He left Paris, as so many other soldiers did, with unforgettable memories of his time in Paris, leaving behind a baby he knew nothing about and never would.This was interesting and a lighter read for me that I still enjoyed because of the resilience and triumph over adversity. The characters are still likable, I was disappointed the best friend all but disappeared about halfway through the book.
