The book of the missing names

Product description

Overnight in 1942 Eva Troup, a French woman, found her name, her mother's name, and her father's name on the lists of the arrestation. Overnight she found herself in France, strange to her, France where the enemy had tightened their grip on her, aided by French traitors, so she became a stray prey in her homeland. From the heart of the darkest periods known to humanity, we get to know Eva, a book and art lover, who in some way became a member of a resistance movement where women worked like men to liberate France. However, her resistance was non-violent, and without direct confrontation with the enemy. This is a true story inspired by the writer Kirsten Harmel from an article she read in The New York Times: the Nazi Germany plundering books from French public and private libraries before the end of World War II and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Number of pages: 396 pages
