In France, Marc Lévy is a literary superstar whose books automatically dominate the bestseller lists. He has an international profile to match, with his work translated into 38 languages. But so far his brand of ironic, tragi-comic romance has failed to make much impact in the Anglosphere. Children of Freedom is a rather different kind of book: an account of the Brigade Marcel Langer, a cell of resistance fighters in Toulouse under the Vichy regime. Although presented as a novel, it is closely based on the experiences of Lévy\'s own father, Raymond.
