Overview: The sweeping saga of one prominent French family in postwar Paris, Beirut, and Saigon – an electrifying novel of passion, greed, murder, and revenge.
The Pelletiers are a prominent French family living in 1948 Beirut.
The patriarch, Louis, has built a successful business that he hopes to pass on to his eldest son.

But there is another reason Jean must leave – he has committed a terrible crime.
Youngest son Etienne is sent to make his fortune in Saigon.
There, he begins investigating a covert scheme to channel smuggled goods and cash to the Viet Minh.
But the evidence he collects presents a real threat to his own life.
François, the middle brother, arrives in Paris and becomes a journalist.
His career takes off when he starts covering the brutal murder of an actress that seems part of a pattern of killings.
But the killer he’s chasing may closer to him than anyone realizes.
Epic in scope, and a vivid depiction of French life in the booming postwar years, The Wide World is a riveting saga that is at once gripping and classic.
