“And now some special messages,” the radio announcer said. “The siren has bleached hair. Electricity dates from the twentieth century. The moon is full of elephants.”
Elephants on the moon doesn’t make any sense to Eponine Lambaol. Little has made sense since General Petain, the leader of the French government, allowed the German army to occupy half of France in the spring of 1940. After her father is conscripted to work on German fortifications, Eponine's mother moves to Amblie, a small town near the coast of Normandy. They are the only Bretons, and most of the natives seem to hate them even more than they hate the Germans. After Sarah, a Jewish classmate, disappears under mysterious circumstances, Rene, the charming and handsome son of the mayor, becomes the only remaining villager who treats Eponine well. He's hard to resist, but is he any safer than the disfigured German sergeant who tries to befriend her?
As rumors of an allied invasion swirl around her, Eponine begins to understand that nothing and no one is what it seems, and that the phrase ‘The moon is full of elephants’ makes more sense and is fraught with more danger than she could have ever believed possible.
