Review

Product Description
A remarkable story of struggle and survival in World War II by France's No. 1 bestselling novelist Early in 1942, two young brothers join a Resistance group. All the members of the group are young, most of their families came from elsewhere in Europe or North Africa and all of them are passionately committed to the freedom of France and Europe. They find they are not welcomed by other French groups and thus Brigade 35 is formed. For most of them, their growing up, their falling in love, their sense of friendship and family are formed by their time with the group, and between moments of extreme danger and fear, a lifestyle of a kind of normality develops. But tragedy follows when the brothers are arrested, a number of members of the Brigade 35 are killed and a traitor is suspected. The tensions between former comrades and other Resistance fighters mounts and all this against the desperate hope that the invasion by the allies is really drawing near and will rescue them all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling yet oddly chilly, 29 Aug 2008
By S. Chiger - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Based on the World War II experiences of the author's father and uncle, Children of Freedom is a riveting testament to the bravery of the young resistance fighters in France. The missions that they undertake almost defy belief--but then again, so do many of the horrors of the Nazi era. The final section of the book is particularly horrific and gripping. But the overall tone is curiously distancing, so that the appeal is more to the intellect than to the emotions. Some of this may be due to the English translation, which is a bit clumsy in places. On the whole, though, the book is a worthy ode to the heroes it depicts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart-moving Story, 19 Jul 2008
By Spencer Lawes - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is truely amazing. I didn't really know whether or not to buy it at first but i am so glad that i did. Part One goes rather slowly, but once you get to part two you'll sruggle to put this book down. The first person narative works so well to create a brilliant book and a main character that you will love.
