HTML version by Al Haines. "The French Twins" by Lucy Fitch Perkins is a historical novel likely written during the early 20th century. This poignant story unfolds the lives of Pierre and Pierrette, nine-year-old twins living in Rheims, France, amidst the backdrop of World War I. The narrative captures the turmoil of war through their innocent eyes, emphasizing themes of bravery, family, and resilience as they face the encroaching German army and the destruction of their beloved cathedral. At the start of the book, the atmosphere is set in the beautiful Cathedral of Rheims, which serves as a sanctuary for the community but is threatened by the advancing German forces. As the children attend a catechism class led by the Abbe, an alarm bell suddenly causes panic among the gathered children and caregivers, signaling the arrival of danger. Mother Meraut, the twins' mother, appears to be a central figure, balancing her duties at the Cathedral while demonstrating courage and determination in the face of adversity. The opening section expertly intertwines the child's perspective of fear and confusion with the adult world of duty and sacrifice, foreshadowing the hardships that the characters will endure in their quest for safety and the preservation of their home in a war-torn landscape.
