“Sieg Heil!” they scream, frantic. Obsessed. Saluting and clapping. Believing every word, receiving every command they’ve just been given. Men. Women. Children. All of them swallowing it whole so they can be corroded from the inside out.”
― Ariel Lawhon, Code Name Hélène
I wish I could say history doesn't repeat itself but with this nightmare in office refusing to leave it's evident we can't rest till he's out or physically removed January 20th.
With this noted this wasn't all about history, the harsh realities of war, the holocaust survivors, as much as it was about perseverance, determination, will, and survival.
Friendships, family, relationships were all at stake with Nancy at the top of her game as a reporter, previous expat, and now working as a British spy.
She's about to parachute into France to help the resistance using her alias and she's also about to come head to head with reality.
Silk stockings, red lipstick, beauty and brawn, and emergence as a journalist who demands she be heard while fighting to get her work published.
It's an interesting albeit difficult read to uncover especially during these trying times with the pandemic and growing political frustrations.
