Description
The War: A Memoir
A haunting and deeply personal account of life in Paris during the Nazi occupation and its aftermath. Written by Marguerite Duras, this memoir is a riveting portrayal of the harrowing realities of World War II-era France.
With spare, almost arid prose, Duras recounts her experiences as she nursed her husband back to health after his return from Bergen-Belsen, navigated the complexities of resistance life, and evaded capture by a determined Gestapo officer. The result is a powerful and poignant portrait of one woman's survival in a time of unimaginable terror.
