I love to read. I am very eclectic in my reading but I especially enjoy erotica and erotic romance. I also like movies, live theater and concerts, hockey, and counted cross-stitch.
PRISCILLA: THE HIDDEN LIFE OF AN ENGLISHWOMAN IN WARTIME FRANCE by Nicholas Shakespears
| Interesting read as the author tries to recreate his aunt's life beginning before WWII through the end of her life. While there were people to talk with and diaries left that explain the time before the war and the time after the war, there were few sources available to reconstruct accurately her life in Paris during the war. As Mr. Shakespeare would be researching one thing he often stumbled into pieces of his aunt's life during his research. Most of the people who had been with his aunt were either dead, or like her, unwilling to talk about their experiences. I learned a lot. It is worth reading as it is the experience of an ordinary person, not a celebrity. |
