Reaching mandatory retirement age in his job as an airline pilot and recently widowed, Marshall Stone decides to spend some time in France. He wants to find and thank those people in the Resistance who sheltered and moved him through France to Spain after his plane was shot down in WWII. One in particular is the girl in the blue beret. When Stone discovers the back story of his adventure, he hears tales told through their eyes that are very different than he's ever considered. He finally grows up, I think. It's quite a compelling novel based on several real life stories, including that of the author's uncle. Highly recommended.
