In 1935 Italy a man wishes he could be as talented as his artist father. World War II American soldier Nick Burns meets a French woman, Camille. They discuss art, and war, and the nature of being a man versus being a woman. In 1973 a young waitress named Jenny wishes she could stop serving pancakes to drunk college kids and start living. How do the lives of these three people converge, and how does an abandoned baby and a few paintings fit into the story? Ann Hood's novel The Stolen Child seeks to answer those very questions. Hood's concise prose takes readers into the heart of war and beyond to explore how our choices, good or bad, define us.
