«Un sac de billes» is the autobiographical novel by Joseph Joffo, published by Lattes in paperback (381 pages, in French).
In 1941, Joseph Joffo, a ten-year-old Jewish boy, receives a bag of marbles in exchange for his yellow star. With his twelve-year-old brother, he flees to the free zone of occupied France: they must go unnoticed, work, search for their scattered family and survive interrogations. It is the true story of the author's childhood, told from his memory.
The work, originally published in 1973, appeared in 1982 in Le Livre de Poche.
The publisher recommends it for readers aged 11 and up, due to the child's perspective of the protagonist.
