Resistance by Anita ShreveMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
I like Anita Shreve books, but didn't relish the prospect of reading this one because of it being set during the Second World War in Germany occupied France. I've seen countless films and documentaries about the Resistance, it was obviously a deeply scary, brutal time, when many many people lost their lives and, typically, books set in this period of time reflect that.
This one did, it doesn't make for a happy or 'feel good' read, and didn't teach me anything new about this period in history. I don't know why Shreve bothered writing it really, its outcome is predictable, the whole thing has been done before.
