Little Boy Lost by Marghanita Laski

3.0

Not what I had expected. An English man lost his French wife to the Gestapo in the war, and then their son was literally lost. The man is led to an orphanage where a strange boy awaits -- is it his son or not, and will the man have the courage to probe and find out? It's a real picture of isolation, grief, loss and resurrection -- moral courage in war and in peace. The answer does not come until literally the last page, so I was turning pages til the end. It reads like a thriller -- exciting and fast. Took me about one long night's read to finish it.
