Ultra-experienced reader Wanda McCaddon (600 titles at least) here wraps her accents around particularly horrific events in World War II France. Moorehead focuses on the women of the Resistance, many of whom came from the Communist Party. The Resistance grew slowly, but the Nazis were skilled, and 230 of these women eventually were captured and sent to Auschwitz in 1943. Only 49 returned. McCaddon reads without much emotion, letting the story's events present the drama.
VERDICT A powerful listening experience. ["Although at times difficult to read, this book rightfully gives these women their place in our historical memory," read the review of the HarperCollins hc, LJ 8/11.—Ed.]
