From the bestselling author of The Lover, Marguerite Durass haunting memoir of suffering and survival in a time when Europe was torn asunderWritten in 1944 and first published in 1985, Duras's riveting account of life in Paris during the Nazi occupation and the first months of liberation depicts the harrowing realities of World War IIera France 'with a rich conviction enhanced by [a] spare, almost arid, technique' (Julian Barnes, The Washington Post Book World ). Duras, by then married and part of a French resistance network headed by Franois Mitterand, tells of nursing her starving husband back to health after his return from BergenBelsen, interrogating a suspected collaborator, and playing a game of cat and mouse with a Gestapo officer who was attracted to her. The result is 'more than one woman's diary . . . [it is] a haunting portrait of a time and a place and also a state of mind' (The New York Times).
