Father, Unknown: Revisited (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781998917211)

A child born without the name of his father.

A mother burdened by a secret.

A family tested by revolution, exile, and the brutal machinery of history.

Father, Unknown: Revisited is a sweeping, immersive historical novel that follows Marcel Juin from his illegitimate birth in a small village near Vimy through the chaos of the French Revolution, the terror of the guillotine, the rise of Napoleon, and the quiet tragedies of ordinary life.

Raised under a cloud of shame, Marcel forges his identity through relentless work, devotion to family, and a lifelong quest to discover the truth about his origins. In this richly drawn world-of peasants and aristocrats, priests and prisoners, soldiers and settlers-every character bears the marks of a nation in upheaval.

Intimate yet epic, Father, Unknown: Revisited explores resilience, secrecy, love, and the unbreakable thread that binds one generation to the next.
