"Simone, with her strength and outspoken, sometimes raw voice, speaks of a youth drawn to extremism and women's treatment during the Liberation. A favorite."

"You've shaved my head, branded me, treated me like a dog, and called me a bitch. But you will not destroy me. You won't snuff out the spark that keeps me going in the face of all opposition. For today, even more than yesterday, I am strong with a treasure that has no price. A treasure many of you will spend your whole lives seeking and never find. I have loved. And been loved."
A dazzling debut novel freely inspired by the passionate life of Simone, the "Shaved Woman of Chartres," photographed by Robert Capa in June 1944, during the Liberation of France.
