The author (1914-2000) born Richard Patrick Russ, who later legally changed his name, was famous for his Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin novels. This novel, first published in 1962 but never published before in America, is of a prisoner of war in France, held captive by the Germans, who conducts a minute examination of his life to keep sane. Escaping from a blighted childhood and his widowed, alcoholic mother thanks to an artistic gift, his life as a painter in the 1930's is cruelly deprived and in order to eat, squanders his asset by becoming a forger, particularly of Utrillo.
