Title: A very readable account of wartime Paris under the Nazis
Review: This book tells of an American woman and an English woman who are in Paris when it falls to the Nazis. The writing is a bit naive but one gets used to it and the story told catches one up. It reminded me of a Helen MacInnes novel, with the big difference: this account is real! It was published in 1943 and I understand was a selection of the Book of the Month Club. There is good propaganda in the account, but that does not really detract from the story, and I found that the book was pageturny. I see it was republshed in 1988 and I wonder if the republication included an account of what happened to the people who were caught up in the daring and courageous work the women were doing.
Is the review positive or negative?
