Out Stealing Horses week 5 post b

This chapter of Out Stealing Horses shows that Trond's father has not been truthful to Trond about many things. ONe of the things is that he and Jon's mother have been seeing eachother in secret, which is understandable that he would not tell Trond this, because if you are having an affair, you might not want to tell your son, but still. Also, Franz decides to tell Trond about his fathers involvemnet in World War II. He and Jon's mother and Trond's father work to aid the Allies, when Norway has been taken over by Germany. He aids a Jewish man by allowing him to stay in his barn, but the man is discovered, and while they are trying to smuggle him out, things go awry and the man gets shot, and Trond's father and Jon's mother are forced to flee to Sweden.
