I have not read Charlotte Gray though I saw the movie and thought it was great. Authentic as far as the Resistance went.

Snobby perhaps, but there's too many books & little time, ha. I would like to read the titles of Simone's you mention (thanks!). What did you think of Suite Francaise by Nemirovsky or Sabastian Faulk's Birdsong & Charlotte Gray? Hmm. those are three I have liked that have touched on the Resistance. thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-37341215883985274012016-03-27T08:45:01.173-07:002016-03-27T08:45:01.173-07:00Let me know how you liked it if you do.
