A Powerful and Poignant Novel

Fifteen-year-old Marianne can't understand why her mother has put Marianne and her brother at risk by joining the Resistance, an underground movement organized to fight the German occupation of France. There is plenty of emotional conflict as she has to deal with the English soldier her mother is concealing, a German commandant who attempts to molest her, and the young German soldier who is temporarily billeted in her home. It is a story of war but also a story of inner conflicts and struggles as Marianne works through issues of trust and loss and the realization that people are individuals and can not always be easily categorized as "enemy" or" friend" . Highly Recommended!

The French Resistance from a young girls's point of view

I really enjoyed this little novel and didn't want it to end! It is about the complexities of war from a young girl's perspective added with the complexities of her changing relationship with her mother. Very interesting twists and turns to the plot. All that and an ending that got me all choked up. What more could you ask for! A very good story. Engrossing and thought provoking.
