‘HEROES’ TIMELINE
After being badly injured in WWII Francis
Cassavant returns to Frenchtown with
severe facial injuries. He covers his face to
avoid recognition and carries a gun which he
will use in a special ‘mission’.
Francis thinks back to his first meeting with Nicole
(at the school) and his immediate attraction to her.
He visits the place where she used to live. That night
he has a nightmare about his wartime experiences.
Arthur Rivier, a school friend of Francis,
introduces him to the other war veterans at
the St Jude Club. Unlike Francis they are
optimistic about the future. Francis keeps his
identity a secret.
Through a flashback to the days at the
Wreck Centre, Larry LaSalle is
introduced. He is presented as an inspiring
teacher who brings out the best in the young
people of Frenchtown.
Later at the St Jude Club the war veterans talk
about Larry LaSalle’s Silver Star award for
bravery in war. Arthur Rivier recognises Francis
and cannot understand why, as the holder of a
Silver Star, he should want to go unrecognised.
Francis remembers when he won the table tennis
tournament at the Wreck Centre and later beat Larry
in a match (he is convinced though that Larry let him
win). Francis and Nicole grow closer. At the cinema
together they see a newsreel with Larry celebrated as a
war hero.
After the celebration for his return to Frenchtown,
Larry assaults Nicole at the Wreck Centre. Francis
overhears the assault but is too frightened (or shocked)
to do anything about it.
Nicole is visited by Francis who is tortured by
guilt because of his failure to help her. Later he
contemplates suicide but instead he lies about
his age and enlists in the army.
After Francis has discovered that Larry has
returned to Frenchtown he visits him in his
lodgings intending to kill him in revenge for
what he did to Nicole.
Larry admits his weakness for ‘the sweet
young things’ but does not express any
remorse. He tells Francis he has already
made plans to kill himself which he does
after Francis leaves.
Francis visits Nicole to ask her forgiveness
and to inform her of Larry’s death. Although
he had hoped to resume their relationship it
is clear this will not happen. He sees his
departure as his ‘gift’ to her.
At the end of the novel Francis contemplates his
future and the options open to him. Carrying his bag
with the gun he boards a train.
The novel’s present. Francis is 18 and has just
returned to Frenchtown. World War Two is
over and he has ‘no face’.
Much of the story is told through flashbacks, which take us back to when Francis was 13 and first
met Nicole. We also learn the tragic history of Grenier’s Hall, which was to become the Wreck
Centre. We get glimpses of Francis’ war experiences and learn why Francis wants to kill Larry
who was such a hero to the children of Frenchtown.
