5.0 out of 5 stars A great read from cover to cover., 23 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Tomorrow to be Brave (Hardcover)
Expecting biographies to be turgid and dry I have tended steer clear of them. No fear of that though with Susan Travers' gripping story. I found the book, which has a light easy style, compelling reading. We are fortunate that "La Miss" has shared her adventures with us as they, and the people in them, deserve to be remembered.

4.0 out of 5 stars Autobiography or Novel ?, 7 Sep 2005
By Hemrish Aubeelack (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is one of the best books I have ever read. Don't be afraid if you feel bored at first. Once you've known the characters and Susan, you will soon fall in love with her. I bought this book because I like reading autobiographies of military people but I soon found out that it was more than an autobiography, it was a love story. It is the story of Susan Travers who is fighting for France and in the quest to finding her true self, she helps others, she fights, she falls, she is afraid, she falls in love with General Koenig, she is brave. For me "brave" refers to two things in this story: one refers to the bravery at war at the macroscomic level and the other refers to her bravery during the fight against herself at the microcosmic level. I am not disappointed with this book, some lines might even make you cry...

5.0 out of 5 stars A quite remarkable story, 11 May 2002
By A Customer
This is a superb story. Not the best written book I've ever read, but that does not detract from the story. Susan Travers, an Englishwoman living in France, is looking to play a role in the Second World War. And what a role she ends up playing. Based in north Africa as the driver for Pierre Koenig, she becomes his mistress as well as his driver. But this is more the story of the fight of the Free French than of a military love affair. The battle with Rommel and the flight across the desert while under fire are quite inspirational. You live the experiences with "La Miss" and I could not put this book down. I recommend this amazing story to everyone.
