Title : My Child from Berlin - Anne Wiazemsky - Book

Summary :

In September 1944, Claire, an ambulance driver with the French Red Cross, was in Béziers with her section, while in a few months she would follow the Allied armies into a ruined Berlin. She was twenty-seven years old, a very pretty young woman with large dark eyes and high Slavic cheekbones. If she was complimented, she pretended to ignore it. She had wanted to exist only through her work since joining the Red Cross a year and a half earlier. Her moral and physical courage, her ardor, earned the admiration of her superiors. Her companions, sometimes from different social backgrounds than hers, had forgotten that she was the daughter of a famous writer, François Mauriac, and considered her as one of them, nothing more. At the wheel of her ambulance, when she transported the wounded to overcrowded hospitals, she felt alive for the first time in her young life. But through the war, without even knowing it, it is love that Claire is looking for. She will find it in Berlin.
