Duras, by then married and part of a French resistance network headed by François Mitterand, tells of nursing her starving husband back to health after his return from Bergen-Belsen, interrogating a suspected collaborator, and playing a game of cat and mouse with a Gestapo officer who was attracted to her. The result is "more than one woman's diary . . . [it is] a haunting portrait of a time and a place and also a state of mind" (The New York Times).Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 208mmItem Length: 137mmItem Weight: 227gAuthor: Marguerite DurasTranslator: Barbara BrayContributor: Barbara Bray (Translated by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Military History, Literary Criticism, BiographyRelease Year: 1994 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
