1914. Gaston is only thirteen when war breaks out. Son of a secret, grandson of violence, he carries in his veins a legacy he knows nothing about. A legacy that gave him a body like no other, one that everyone notices - over two meters tall, shoulders like a lumberjack, the build of a man while he's still just a kid.
In the villages, the men are gone. Only the old, the children, and the women remain. Lonely women. Desperate women. Some start looking differently at this boy, so tall, so strong. Gaston doesn't understand everything, but lets it happen. Then he understands. Then he takes advantage. Driven by his desire and the pleasure he discovers, he transforms into a little bastard without scruples who feeds on the misfortune of others.
But war leaves no one in peace. It forces him to flee his native village in Lorraine and separates him from his mother. Alone, he reaches Normandy where a job awaits him with a wealthy bourgeois family - people with their own secrets, their own desires.
That's where it all truly begins. Adventure. Women. Money. Trouble.
The Little Bastard is the first volume of A GUY TOO TALL, the story of a life and a family's past. A saga in three volumes that spans wars and continents.
For adult readers only.
