About this listen

 What was it like to be a citizen fighting the Nazis? Lucie Aubrac, of Catholic and peasant background, was teaching history in a Lyon girls' school and had just married Raymond, a Jewish engineer, when World War II erupted and divided France. The couple, living in the Vichy zone, soon joined the Resistance movement in opposition to the Nazis and their collaborators. This is Lucie's harrowing account of her participation in the Resistance; of the months when, though pregnant, she planned and took part in raids to free comrades - including her husband, under Nazi death sentence - from the prisons of Klaus Barbie, the infamous "Butcher of Lyon."(P)1996 by Blackstone Audio Books; ©1993 by The University of Nebraska Press; Published by Arrangement with The University of Nebraska Press, All Rights Reserved. 20th Century Historical Military Modern War

Critic reviews

"This book is riveting. Adventure, terror, horror, and excitement are all here; it is a feminist classic as well..." (Times Literary Supplement)
"An excellent historical introduction on the Resistance movement..." (Publishers Weekly)

The story of a very extraordinary, courageous young mother made ordinary in the telling. Very interesting but her natural modesty ruins the effect. It turns out to sound mundane whereas it could not possibly have been so.

The rendition is perfectly good but the whole package is a bit of a bore. I feel guilty in saying so.

Mundane

This should be a very interesting subject but I found the book to be very disjointed and hard to follow. I have given up before the end!

very poor and very hard to follow no gaps between chapters, constant flashbacks one minute their in prison then their free not done in any chronological order. also very anti British despite the fact that our midwives delivered her a bouncing healthy baby while dealing with our own casualties during the Blitz and many British and American boys died liberating their country after their own army tamely capitulated to the Germans
