The French Resistance in WWII

Escape from Paris:  A True Story of Love and Resistance in Wartime France by Stephen Harding
Publication Date - 10/8/2019
3.5 stars

Joe Cornwall was a gunner during World War II when his plane went down over occupied France.  Through a series of brave resistors, he found his way to the apartment of the Morins and into a brief  romance with their daughter, Yvette.  I enjoyed reading this, especially about the brave French Resistance.  This was a relatively short nonfiction account and I actually was not as interested in Joe's story, but it is worth reading in order to get the story of the Morins and all of their associates.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
