Manage episode 437681920 series 2801600
Claire Ames is a former food and travel writer, whose books include creative non fiction, cookbooks, columns, and history.
Her new book. Victory Gazette, released on July 7th , follows Justine Bertrand, a young Belgian woman who publishes an illegal Resistance newsletter in the fictional village of Ledrens during World War II. The newsletter counters Nazi propaganda despite constant threats of arrest.
The story intertwines the sacrifices and secret roles of the Resistance group, Willow’s Branch, and includes Justine's return to Belgium twenty years later to uncover her betrayer.
In this interview, we discuss how Victory Gazette resonates with Claire’s understanding of World War II and the role of women in the Resistance. And what ways Justine Bertrand's story mirrors the experiences of women during that era. We talk about Justine's journey and how her choices reflect the challenges and strengths of women, both historically and today. And how family dynamics play a big role in shaping women’s values and actions.
