Yes, I have. If you'd tell us what you want to know about it, I'd help, but as I have no idea, I'll just give you a very minimal idea of its theme.

It's a book by Steinbeck about a small town occupied by the Germans in World War II. It shows that the Germans were indeed not all monsters, or even bad people. Many of them were just following orders, earning money so that their families would not starve.

I suggest you be more specific about what you are looking for in the way of answers.

The Moon Is Down is a novel by John Steinbeck, an American author. The title refers to a phrase spoken by Banquo's son Fleance in Shakespeare's Macbeth. It was written in 1942 during World War II when Steinbeck worked as a reporter. The story details a military occupation of a small town in Northern Europe by the army of an unnamed nation at war with England and Russia. It is a very transparent reference to the occupation of Norway by the Germans during World War II. Interestingly, a French language translation of the book was published illegally in Nazi-occupied France by Les Editions de Minuit, a French Resistance publishing house. The book is still in print as a paperback issued in New York by Penguin Group (USA), in 1995 with ISBN 0140187464.
