From the Publisher
William, known as the Bastard, sailed from these same Normandy shores in 1066 and became famous and honored as William the Conqueror. Now the author, Len Lamensdorf, tells the story of another William from Normandy, who --fearful that he, too, may be a bastard--lives a dreary parochial life while dreaming of knights and heros. THE CROUCHING DRAGON tells his story as he grows from a frightened youngster into a confident and accomplished young man, helped by the lovely Louise, steadfast Andr, and a strange man--a one time college professor and former resistance fighter--who lives in the mysterious castle and roams the countryside. Steven Spielberg's Academy award winning movie, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, shows us the agonies, tragedies and triumphs of the American soldiers who landed on the Normandy beaches below the castle and William's home town. THE CROUCHING DRAGON tells the story of what happens after the soldiers go home.
From the Author
On one of many trips to France, I visited Normandy and the World War II invasion beaches. Standing in a cemetery where thousands of American soldiers are buried --very near the town where William lives in THE CROUCHING DRAGON--I was deeply moved. Then and there I decided to tell the story from another viewpoint, that of a French teenager whose family and friends--and enemies--had multiple ties to this fascinating area and the battles that arose or originated there, across many centuries. Most of the historical background and geographical description in the book is true, and it my great hope that the story is true as well--in the very real sense that a work of fiction may be true.
