Helpful Score: 2
A thought provoking book. One that will last in my thoughts for some time. The characters were very strong, the history assumed. Even writing in 1941 the author appeared to have a grasp on what history would be written and therefore not have to be spelled out in her story leaving plenty of space for character building. So to speak.
How ironic her own life and the life of her children were caught up in the very history she wrote about. "Write about what you know," my English teachers always said....
The interesting point of this book is that, although born to Jewish parents, this woman and her family were practicing Catholics in France at the time of Hitler's German occupation. It made no difference. (Not a spoiler alert, you should know that.)
