The chameleon life
Posted by Béatrice Thony on
La vie chameleon, the magnificent work by Hélène Waldaut-Treilles, was presented at the "Critical Mass" operation organized in the spring by Babélio. Among the unanimously complimentary reviews, here is one that caught our attention:
"What a lesson – a living one – in History! I learned a lot, I thought, too. I laughed – at least at the beginning – and I shuddered more than once. It is no small thing to say that I truly appreciated these memoirs of a German woman!
Her lively style, full of anecdotes, each more piquant than the last, and some even abominable, the humor with which she recounts her pampered childhood and adolescence, within an aristocratic family, on a large estate in Eastern Pomerania, her honest reflection on Nazism, her love of people and therefore her ease in understanding them and making them live, her naturalness and her sincerity, finally, all this kept me on the edge of my seat."
