Book excerpt: For Jews in Nazi-occupied Paris, every day brings new dangers. So when Odette's father is thrown into a work camp and the Nazis suspect her mother of helping the Resistance, Odette is sent to the French countryside until it is safe to return. On the surface, Odette leads the life of a regular girl, going to school, doing chores, even attending Catholic masses with other children. But inside, she is burning with secrets for the life she left behind, and the identity she must hide at all costs. Yet when the war ends, the cost of keeping secrets takes an unexpected toll: can Odette return to Paris as a Jew, or has she changed too much? Inspired by the life of the real Odette Meyer, this moving free-verse novel is a story of triumph over adversity.

Book excerpt: The story of Odette, a schizophrenic girl caught between a cold reality in an abusive foster home and a bizarre set of fantasies where she is considered a god by her creations. But the intentions of the inhabitants of her psyche, divided into two warring factions, are even less clear than those of the people she encounters in her real world of school and never-ending therapy, which is ruled by her charismatic and psychotic best friend Anna. Her ability to distinguish between the two becomes gradually worse as her real life deteriorates and the complexities of her hallucinations increase. She finds herself both unwilling to choose a side and unable to influence the decisions of the two faction's leaders; Alexander, a cunning and manipulative High Priest, and Amelia, a ruthless assassin, who both wish to use her as a pawn to further their own goals.

Book Synopsis Odette by : Penny Starns

Download or read book Odette written by Penny Starns. This book was released on 2009-09-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Odette Brailly entered the nation's consciousness in the 1950s when her remarkable - and romantic - exploits as an SOE agent first came to light. She had been the first woman to be awarded the GC, as well as the Legion d'Honneur, and in 1950 the release of a film about her life made her the darling of the British popular press. But others openly questioned Odette's personal and professional integrity, even claiming that she had a clandestine affair with her supervisor Capt. Peter Churchill, with whom she had worked undercover in France. Soon she became as controversial as she was celebrated. In the first full biography of this incredible woman for nearly sixty years, historian Penny Starn delves into recently opened SOE personnel files to reveal the true story of this wartime heroine and the officer who posed as her husband. From her life as a French housewife living in Britain and her work undercover with the French Resistance, to her arrest, torture and unlikely survival in Ravensbruck concentration camp, Starns reveals for the first time the truth of Odette's mission and the heart-breaking identity of her real betrayer.
