About Akin by Emma Donoghue

Retired New York professor Noah is preparing to return to Nice, France, when a social worker asks him to take in Michael, his eleven-year-old great-nephew. Though the two have never met, Noah brings Michael along on the trip to the French Riviera.

Their journey becomes a chance to investigate troubling details about Noah’s mother and the family’s wartime past. Michael’s comfort with technology and sharp eye help with the search, while the pair’s disagreements and growing understanding shape this contemporary novel about family across generations. It will suit readers interested in family fiction and stories that connect present-day relationships with earlier history.
