A daily journal of our lives (begun in October 2010), in photos (many taken by my wife, Evie) and words, mostly from our home on Chautauqua Lake, in Western New York, where my wife Evie and I live, after my having retired from teaching English for forty-five years in Hawaii, Turkey, and Ohio. We have three children, seven grandchildren, and one great-grandson, as you will notice if you follow my blog since we often travel to visit them. Photo from our porch taken on 11/03/2024 at 7:07 AM

UNDER OCCUPATION: ALAN FURST
Like most of Furst's novels, his most recent is set in occupied Paris, in 1942. The story follows the life of a detective novelist, Paul Ricard, who inadvertently gets involved in the Resistance. He moves from one city to another, gathering information for the British, then ends up hiding various fugitives in safe houses, even following one of the escape routes from Paris to safety in Spain. It's not my favorite Furst novel but still worth reading.
