About This Item
Hardcover. 1st Edition. 1st Impression, Condition: NF. Unclipped Dust Jacket Condition: NF. D/J protected by a clear removable sleeve. Cloth boards with pages clean and tight. Overall a very nice copy.
This eloquent and spirited memoir of a young Jewish girl's coming of age in Nazi-occupied France recounts her own family's difficult and brave survival and portrays as well the love and quiet heroism of her rescuers. A powerful central figure is Madame Marie Chotel, the Catholic concierge and seamstress who hides seven-year-old Odette and her mother in her broom closet while police search, who secures the child's safe haven in a distant province, and who is cherished by Odette, even in absentia, as her godmother and mentor.
