The disaster is witnessed by Jackie, a young girl who, for a time, thinks she caused the explosion by running away that day from school; by her mother Helen, a spirited woman married to a dreary young officer; and by a Polish officer, whose country has just been erased from the map by Hitler and Stalin. Their lives, and the lives of many others, are changed by the death of the Fronsac."-- Highlights Easy to enjoy: 400 pages · Paperback By Ascherson, Neal Details ISBN: 9781786694393 Author: Ascherson, Neal Format: Paperback Pages: 400 Language: English Publication date: 5 April 2018 Condition: Used – Very Good About the authors Ascherson, Neal and Neal Ascherson · Publisher: Apollo More about this book Reviews A STORY OF SABOTAGE, BETRAYAL AND THE TERRIBLE SADNESS OF EXILE.
