Sounds like a very interesting book. If it's ever published in English translation I would definitely read it.

It was published in 2008 by Segnat Editions in Figeac (Boyer's hometown). At 167 pages, it's shorter than Swindell's biography and focuses more on the French angle. Chassagnard quotes plentifully from Boyer's letters to his mother (who lived until 1966) and the French press. A nice supplement to the Swindell biography, I think. If you read French, I recommend it: you can buy it at Amazon.fr for about $40, including shipping and handling.Diamantina, aka Gentillylacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233399922548504389noreply@blogger.com
