Trapeze
by Simon Mawer
Yet
another book I have read at some point during the blogging time when
I was really into the Christmas and Thanksgiving season.
It was
a while back I read it but when I checked my note on it, I remember
it well.It was a “good read”
It is
the story of a young English girl Marion who has been brought up in
Paris. When World War 2. erupts she is 19 year old and volunteers to
help in the war effort. As she has a good command of French and
French customs she is trained to become a liaison in the SOE ,
Special Operations Executive to the French resistance movement. It
details her training and her parachute jumps into France and her
subsequent experiences.
It is
a very interesting book and is based on the actual SOE and the
courageous volunteers who served in it.
PS I have a sneeky feeling I have written a blog about this book already but never mind.
I thought John read a lot of books but I think you beat him !!!
