Occupying that select niche somewhere between an autobiography and a memoir, this novel is Jacques Warryn’s story; a life of sacrifice by a veteran soldier who received two highly prestigious national awards after returning from the Indo-China War in 1968. A profound and thought-provoking read, Narrow Escape is full of revelations of the amazing coincidences of fate. From the day Jacques was torn from his family and raised on a farm in Bearn, through the start of the Indochina war when he was 20; until the final stroke of the pen, this eventful journey down memory lane is riveting and emotionally stirring.
