Sabine’s War

by Eva Taylor

The discovery of a tranche of letters, penned by her mother, led to daughter Eva Taylor piecing together the years of her mother’s life: initially as a carefree young adult, her lovers, and subsequently her imprisonment following Resistance operations in occupied Europe, and her againstthe-odds survival. A reflective read as the author pieces together hitherto unknown information and reveals the life-changing and understandably long-term damaging impact that it had on her mother’s character.
