The French Promise
“He chose not to raise the issue of his father with his grieving elders. Given his mother’s secrecy over Kilian, he wasn’t sure it was worth opening old and awkward wounds of a pregnant and unmarried daughter in the late 1930s.Max had skimmed the letters once in a haze of regret after his mother’s death and wisely put them away until he could coolly face the knowledge that details of his father had always been within his reach. He was ready now. It was mid-November and cold enough to snow; the t...ourists had long disappeared and Strasbourg was once again a peaceful university town. Max was well on top of his studies, which was handy because his mind was filled with the determination to find out more about Markus Kilian. His father was Wehrmacht, so presumably there were official records and perhaps a family – his mother hadn’t said whether he’d had siblings – but even if there were, Max didn’t want to meet those people yet. He preferred to learn about Kilian from the safer distance of people who had known him around the time of his death.MoreLess
