Description

Growing up in post-war Paris the sickly only child of glamorous, athletic parents, the narrator invents for himself a make-believe brother: older, stronger, and more brilliant than he can ever be. It is only when he speaks to an old family friend that he comes to realise he had a half-brother who died in the concentration camps.
