Spending Saturday night reading!
I own a few Persephone books, but I have shamefully not read any so I am picking this one up tonight!!
#JuneBookBugs Day 19 - Refugees
These two memoirs share a central narrative - French Jews who become refugees in their own country during WW2. 33 DAYS is Werth's story of his family's flight from their home in Paris as the Nazis approached.
Published by #PersephoneBooks as MAMAN, WHAT ARE WE CALLED NOW it is a diary of the author's family living in hiding & under assumed names. It's full of everyday descriptions of France during occupation.
