Geoffrey Norman, who was born and raised in Jersey and went on to become a Hollywood screenwriter, actor and author, relates his story, not written for TV, but actually experienced during his extraordinary childhood.

Remembrance unfolds like a classic feature film through five years of Nazi Occupation. Family, friends, schoolteachers, Nazi guards, slave workers and local farmhands speaking in their native Norman-French feature in young Geoffrey’s world as he bounces from the antics of his boyhood adventures to the realities of enemy occupation.

This tale of childhood innocence and adult endurance will appeal to all readers interested in human survival under difficult circumstances; it is a story that will broaden understanding of the home front during the Second World War. In the author’s words, ‘Provincialism is one of the best weapons with which to fight totalitarianism.’
