EXTRAIT

It was spring again, and Madeleine set out to pick wild mushrooms that grew on
the hills overlooking La Ciotat. The terrain was rocky with pockets of moist
soil tucked under the canopy of trees. She carried a wicker basket as she
walked along the narrow forested area at the edge of a cliff that overlooked
the sea. Mechanically she stopped and picked up another mushroom and placed it
in the basket next to two round balls of dirt hiding black truffles. She
raised the basket to her face and smelled the strong aroma, trying to focus on
her tasks and enjoy a few moments away from the restaurant and the worried
looks of her parents.
I just can’t help it, she thought. I can’t get Yves and those German pigs out
of my mind. I have to do something. I can’t hide and pick mushrooms for the
rest of the war.
Madeleine stepped to the edge of the cliff and looked down into an inlet,
knifing in from the sea, watching as a group of German soldiers lay on the
beach drinking wine and splashing around in the cool azure water. A few
families sat well apart from the men trying to enjoy the warmth of the beach
and sun in the presence of their occupiers.

CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE

Cold Lonely Courage is a fascinating, dark, and emotional account of many
aspects of the second World War and all of its horrors. - Susanna, Goodreads
