Yesterday evening, Julie and I were riveted to our seats in the Radcliffe Centre to hear a talk from
Anne Sebba, an award-winning biographer, writer, lecturer and journalist, about her new book:
Les Parisiennes. It's subtitle is
"How the Women of Paris Lived, Loved and Died in the 1940s". She had the whole theatre glued to her words as she calmly, with hardly a pause for breath over 60 minutes, talked us through some poignant stories about how the women of Paris managed during the Nazi occupation.
This talk was part of the warm up to the
Buckingham Literary Festival next week. If you haven't booked to see an author or two, you really should! Almost no matter what the book, hearing an author bring their work to life is greatly enthralling and most informative.
