Synopsis
Who is the real author of The Black Insignia? Is it H. R. Sanders, whose name is printed on the cover of the wildly successful YA adventure series? Or is it Daniel Roche, the enigmatic world traveller who disappears for months at a time? When Daniel's great-niece, Helene, moves to Paris to study archaeology, she does not expect to be searching for answers, but as rumours fly that the 24th volume of the series will be the last, Helene and her friend Guillaume, set out to discover more. In doing so she uncovers a terrible secret from the darkest days of the Occupation.

Product Description
Travels of Daniel Ascher
Review
'Haunting... the narrative reads like a mash-up of Sarah's Key and The Book Thief, and it adroitly straddles the line between adult and YA literature. A piercing meditation on memory and history.' - Publishers Weekly
'Lévy-Bertherat has written an engaging yet ultimately melancholy and moving novel about a search for meaning with its roots buried in WWII France. A slender story but a satisfying one.' Booklist
'Lévy-Bertherat's debut novel is a story about storytelling both historical and personal...The best moments in this short novel involve people falling into stories...The writing is lovely.' Kirkus Reviews
'[A] tightly layered debut novel... With an emphasis on our simultaneous needs to disguise our suffering and tell our stories, Lévy-Bertherat highlights a most human conundrum in a mystery whose resolution will fill readers with sorrow and hope.' Shelf Awareness
'The Travels of Daniel Ascher is about the power of stories, particularly the ones we tell about ourselves. Within its svelte form, the novel packs in a love story (several actually), a family story, a war story, a mystery, a travelogue, and even a convincingly imagined children's adventure series. All these strands weave together beautifully in this deftly plotted and deeply moving novel.' Gabrielle Zevin, author of The Fabled Life of A.J. Fikry
'A novel rich in reflections on identity, memory, and the power of fiction.' --Le Figaro
