DESCRIPTION

Post WWII, a US Army base has been set up at Châteauroux’s Airport in the center of France. Young locals were impressed by the new organization and some took the opportunity to work with the G.I.s as a chance to start their career. Along with their daily routine, the French and Americans were both learning from their different ways of life, in a time also subject to black market, prostitution and other underground chronicles. In « Jackie and the G.I.s », Adrien Bobèche delivers part of his story as a young man and brings to life this untold sequence of History.

THE AUTHOR

Adrien Bobèche has been an inveterate French writer since his early childhood. His first novel, “La Fille de la meunière” [The Miller’s Daughter], was published in the 1960s and hailed by Jean Giono, the great Provençal bard, who declared that he would like to have written it. This is not surprising as Adrien is a master in the art of bringing mystery to light in the most realistic of situations. His novel “Au vent des Brandes” [The Wind of the Heaths], received the “Plume ouverte” prize when it it was first published in 1984. Confident in the future, Bobèche is open to new technologies: he has been one of the first writers in France to be online and to have his books published also as eBooks.
