Review: A FINE of 200 FRANCS by Elsa Triolet

In Laurie’s Mind selected A Fine of 200 Francs by Elsa Triolet for the WWII Reading Challenge.  To read her full review, click on the link.  In the meantime, here’s an excerpt:

Because this was published during wartime by the underground press there are elements of wartime culture Triolet never fully explains. While these must have been self-evident in 1944, they are not necessarily so in 2009. That said, this was a very interesting look at the day-to-day operations of the resistance movement.

**Attention participants:  Remember to email us a link to your reviews, and we’ll post them here so we can see what everyone is reading!**
