David LeRoy Visits Musings of a Book Junkie

Posted on August 22, 2012 by quirkybookandfilmbuff

 

Allison is hosting David LeRoy, author of The Siren of Paris, a novel of the German occupation of France during World War II.  In his article, LeRoy explores why his protagonist, Marc, didn’t leave France when he realized the war was starting. He also offers some insight into how, as a historical fiction author, he’s able to look at past events through the eyes of someone living through them.

Rich in historical detail and full of suspense, The Siren of Paris explores the journey of one American from medical student, to artist, to political prisoner at Buchenwald Concentration Camp during World War II.

Marc, a French born American student, never suspected that he would become trapped in German occupied France when he came to Paris in the summer of 1939 to study art. While smuggling a downed airman out of the American Hospital, through the Paris resistance underground, his life is plunged into total darkness when someone he trusts becomes a collaborator agent for the Gestapo. Marc then must fight to save his soul when he is banished to the “Fog and the Night” of Buchenwald, where he struggles with guilt over the consequences of having his trust betrayed.
