From Library Journal
This intense narrative recounts the author's experiences as an eight-year-old girl in the Limousin village of Chamberet in 1944-45. In April 1944 Claude's mother, a doctor and Resistance member, was denounced by the town's other doctor to a passing SS division and deported to Auschwitz. She suffered greatly, but fortunately survived. Reunited with Claude after a long convalescence, she talked incessantly of the horrors of the camp. For the instruction of her own daughter, Claude writes in sometimes florid prose about life without her mother. Recommended for YA and large World War II collections. William C. McCully, Park Ridge P.L., Ill.
