the narrator of patrice nganang ' s novel plainly informs us . as such , he has learned not to expect too much from life . he can , however , observe the life around him—in his case the impoverished but dynamic cameroon of the early 1990s , a time known as les années de braise ( the smoldering years ) . when he isn ' t limited by the length of his master ' s leash , the perceptive , even ironic , mboudjak wanders the streets of yaounde , a capital city caught in the throes of social and political change . only partly understanding the words spoken around him ( the other dogs are as unreliable as the humans ) , mboudjak relates an experience that not only evokes the wildly diverse language of the streets—a heady brew of french , pidgin english , the indigenous medumba , and the urban slang camfranglais—but also reflects the elusiveness of meaning in politically uncertain times . mboudjak is not alone in his confusion or in his hardship . the blows he receives from humans and the mocking laughter of other dogs are indicative of a larger pattern of abuse that indicts the ruling regime .

the first scenes of jumping into brittany were used as training for parajumpers in the military . great story !
read this book whilst visiting brittany , really enjoyed the story line , a real page turner .
above suspicion was the first , and published in 1941 in the opening moves of what was to become the prolonged agony of the second great war , its urgent and foreboding tone rocketed it to bestseller heights . macinnes followed her first novel by another even more topically urgent and dark , assignment in brittany , in 1942 .

i just picked up assignment in brittany at a booksale , however , so i know that i’ve never read it before . it’s a lovely jacketed hardcover , not a book club edition but the real deal from 1942 . according to the jacket biography this was only her second book .
this is a good story in a nice setting its nice to read a good old fashioned thriller before technology and drugs were involved . i read it onholiday in brittany and really enjoyed it
another review claimed that the book was given to american soldiers being sent to france later in the war . i have no idea whether or not that’s true , but if it is it speaks for the resonance and accuracy of the novel . assignment in brittany was also apparently made into a movie in 1943 . hopefully i’ll be able to watch it either through netflix or tcm .
the action continues in her second novel , assignment in brittany . the unlikely plot this time involves one martin hearn , who looks so much like an injured french soldier named bertrand corlay that military intelligence decides to have hearn impersonate corlay , and send him back to corlay’s home . corlay lives in an area of nazi - occupied france , and it would be quite a coup to have a british agent live in the area and report on nazi activities .
assignment in brittany . ( 1942 ) . helen macinnes . * * * . macinnes was a very popular writer of spy novels – up there with ambler and greene in her day . her novels tended to be low - key , but well plotted . in this adventure , martin hearnes , a member of one of our intelligence groups , takes on the responsibility of heading off to france to learn more about what is going on in brittany . he has a cover : a man who looks exactly like him has just been rescued after a battle with the axis forces . that man is
i so agree with darlynne about the experience of reading old books that were written during the time they were set . assignment in brittany was published in 1942 ; for those first readers it was a contemporary thriller , not a recreation of an earlier era . it’s hard to imagine how people must have felt , reading books like this when the world was still at war and the future so uncertain .
i have read above suspicion numerous times through the years , but assignment in brittany was new to me , and i was pleased at how engaging both of these were , even though in the first i knew the plot inside and out , and the second i guessed at rather successfully all of the way through , except for the rather heartrending ( but ultimately optimistic ) twist at the very end .
martin hearne , british intelligence agent , finds himself in nazi - occupied brittany , posing as bertrand corlay , with the frenchman ' s life reduced to headings in his memory . this is a story of treachery and intrigue .
i am a huge fan of helen macinnes . / assignment in brittany / is one of her early works set during wwii . one thing i think macinnes excels at is writing from the male perspective . add in a tense espionage mission , a
tale of martin guerre
case of assumed identity , and love and you have a story with real stakes . the uncertain ending just makes it especially poignant . highly recommend !

i have been re - reading helen macinnes novels , which were beach - reading staples as a teenager . her work holds up very well , considering the significant changes since she wrote . assignment in brittany was her second novel , set during world war ii and published in 1942 - - very much of - the - moment in her day . she captures beautifully the isolation hearne feels as he hides in occupied france and figures out what he can and cannot accomplish . the romance is a little predictable by modern standards , and
like susan , i read macinnes way back in the ’60s and ’70s . i know i read ‘assignment in brittany’ , but nothing stuck ! i do have fond memories of her first–‘above suspicion’ . my favorite was ‘the venetian affair’ ( which was made into a mediocre movie starring robert vaughn ( fresh from his man from uncle gig ) and felecia farr ) . she did several non - spy things in the late ’40s which are enjoyable–‘friends and lovers’ is a charming romance and ‘rest and be thankful’ is set in the american west .
to prepare for a fiction class i recently taught , i re - read assignment in brittany which i had read back in the ' 70s . it was , as then , a wonderful read : good , old fashioned espionage . it says a great deal about a book when the major spy organizations in the uk made this book required reading for their agents . macinnes ' husband was in mi6 , and her book was so well done that the government suspected her husband of revealing classified information to helen . he had not ( tom clancy had the same exper
review taken from my blog , headsfilmreviews dot com helen macinnes was a remarkable woman . she was a scots presbyterian young lady of glasgow ( my mother ' s stomping grounds ) , degreed in french and german , a librarian , a classic german literature translator , a european traveler , an amateur actress and a wife of an mi6 british intelligence agent . she has a number of espionage thrillers to her name , and her second novel , assignment in brittany , reads as though she had been fully immersed in breton cu
i like it , though the story is a bit far fetch setting at the time before the battle of britain , the british forces could hardly be in a position tosend commando raid to raid brittany . the story would be more creditable if it was set in 1942 - 43 .
macinnes knew spy craft very well , and if you were sharp you picked up some good observational advice . like how one guy was a bit too liberal with the use of cooking oil while everyone else in occupied france is scraping by and using as little as possible . that clue , combined with a few others , show that the cook might be in the pay of the enemy . assignment in brittany was full of practical little observations of that sort , which made it a useful training tool for men heading behind the lines . these are the details that shine .
france may have signed an armistice with germany , but the british are still very interested in any suspicious german activity in the region of brittany . if the nazis are able to set up base along the coast here than things could get very bad for england . the intelligence office needs men to act as eyes , and hearne is the perfect choice . he has long been interested in brittany and its people because of his own cornish descent , and even studied for a year at the unversity in rennes before the war . in appearances he is a doppelganger to corlay , and can mimic the man’s breton accent perfectly .
during the war a french officer ( jean - pierre aumont ) is assigned by the british to impersonate a lookalike who is in their custody so that he can go live with his mother ( marvellous margaret wycherly ) in his village in brittany in order to find the hiding place of nazi submarines . typical wartime propaganda marred by the romantic sub - plot as he romances susan peters while tackling nazis in their usual villainous mode . pretty dull .
fascinating account of an english spy in brittany during wwii . the attention to detail necessary to pull off impersonating a known resident of the town is astounding . could this really happen ? i don ' t know , but it was a page turner .
oh , so retro ! these helen macinnes thrillers were everywhere when i was a teenager — she might even be comparable to the lee child of the era , which says a lot about cultural changes in the last 50 years . i never read them because they moved pretty slowly and because the proportion of romance to action was low for the teenage me . but assignment in brittany was a laundry - room acquisition and it fit the bill perfectly when i was laid low by a migraine . ( that’s the good kind of illness , when you feel too sick to do anything but lie in bed and read ! )
he stared at the unfamiliar watch on his wrist . three hours ago he had stood on english soil . three hours ago he had been martin hearne , british intelligence agent . now he was in nazi - occupied brittany , posing as bertrand corlay , with the frenchman’s life reduced to headings in his memory .
of course helen macinnes was a moonlighting librarian , married to an academic , so she would consider books an index to character . i knew that her husband was the columbia university classicist gilbert highet , but i did not know until i checked wikipedia that he had been in mi6 . nor that assignment in brittany “was required reading for allied intelligence agents who were being sent to work with the french resistance against the nazis . ” actually now that i think of it , macinnes ‘ books seem to cover a lot of the same territory as alan furst’s — but she’s earnestly informative , while he’s performing all those smoky , romantic riffs on the same themes .
helen macinnes was a scottish - american author of espionage novels . she graduated from the university of glasgow in scotland in 1928 with a degree in french and german . a librarian , she married professor gilbert highet in 1932 and moved with her husband to new york in 1937 so he could teach classics at columbia university . she wrote her first novel , above suspicion , in 1939 . she wrote many bestselling suspense novels and became an american citizen in 1951 .

i have been reading an old musty edition of this book , which i borrowed from a friend because it appears to be out of print . it is a spy story in which the main character impersonates a frenchman , whom he resembles , and takes up residence at his home in brittany . the frenchman ' s mother is shortsighted and much is made of this - - unncessarily , in my view . i am also shortsighted and i am absolutely sure that very little of the information we use to recognise people is visual . many great stories in

he stared at the unfamiliar watch on his wrist . three hours ago he had stood on english soil . three hours ago he had been martin hearne , british intelligence agent . now he was in nazi - occupied brittany , posing as bertrand corlay . hearne looked down at the faded uniform which had been corlays , felt for the papers in the inside pocket . he was ready . from now on he was one step away from death . . .
while it seemed to get off to a rather slow start , it quickly picked up the pace and became a well - written spy - yarn and filled with rich images and suspense . the plot follows a british agent , our hero hearne , who is discovered to be the spitting image of a guy who had been picked up wounded in a battle with axis forces , one bertrand corlay . this fellow corlay , a frenchman from brittany , will spend the rest of the war in the hospital . here is an opportunity to send hearne in his place . hearne learns him well , his language nuances , his town , the people there , what they do and who they are . hearne learns corlay’s business , and even had a cosmetic birthmark applied , which comes in handy later . he is going to drop in by parachute , take up the role of corlay , and find out all info about the state of things in brittany , and report back regularly . after all , the war effort includes a coming invasion almost two years away , so any kind of intel about the nazis is vital intel , especially in this area where a future invasion might occur .

her first , above suspicion , made its appearance in 1941 . in this , the spousal and amateur - spy team of richard and frances myles are about to go on vacation when the british government politely asks the couple if they would participate in a wee bit of espionage along the way .
martin hearne is parachuted into brittany , into the very forefront of the nazi occupation , in the guise of his french body double , bertrand corlay . many surprises await hearne , not least of which is the discovery that his predecessor was less than forthcoming about some of his own activities before his evacuation to england via the dunkirk debacle . for instance , his pre - marital arrangement with the neighbouring farmer’s daughter , anne , and his estrangement from his invalid mother , who keeps strictly to her own rooms in the shared household . who is beautiful and passionately forthcoming elise ? why do the nazi occupiers greet “bertrand corlay” with warm enthusiasm , while his fellow villagers hiss in cold disgust ?
can i come earlier than my check - in time ? if you arrive earlier than your check - in time you will be integrated into the process at the end of the current time slot .
macinnes uses a pace that one finds in older novels , slowly building up the tension , concentrating less on action in the beginning and more on subtle details of darkness . you can feel the nazis slowly constricting not just the myles , but the societies in which they operate . writing in 1940 ( the book was published in 1941 ) , macinness rails against nazi ideology and cultures which either attempt to assimilate or feel that they can “handle” the interlopers . those cultures are about to be destroyed .
it begins in media res with martin hearne about to parachute into occupied france . meticulously he mentally reviews the situation : his miraculous resemblance to an injured frenchman brought to england after dunkirk , his superior checking and rechecking the man’s background all the while slotting this mission into the greater whole of discovering exactly what the germans will be up to , his memorization of the man’s life and his small village , and his own knowledge of brittany . with a wave signal of the pilot’s hand , he’s off , jumping into the empty night sky , frantically hoping he won’t end up in some gunner’s sights .
can hearne pull off the doppelgänger assignment ? we learn quickly that there are things corlay did not tell hearne , especially once he realized why hearne wanted to know everything about him . would hearn fool corlay’s own mother ? his betrothed ? the farm hands ? his mistress that he didn’t know about… more importantly , would hearne be able to move seamlessly into the role that corlay did not even mention , his darker side ? would you tell some stranger who looked just like you every secret you kept ?

there is something about reading these old / classic books that feels very much like time travel , or perhaps it’s my own nostalgic memory of my first encounter with them . they are immersive in a way i miss sometimes in current fiction . and it’s not as though any world - building is going on ; on the contrary , they’re very much based in the , then , here - and - now , in days that were / are familiar and almost mundane .

macinnes has the ability to craft a scene , a place , and characters . i found myself scouring maps of north - western france for some of the place - names so i could examine the land on google maps’ street view . besides the obvious larger cities , i discovered like so many readers , that the places are mostly fictional . that said , macinnes’ travels , familiarity with the languages and nuances of regional cultures , and her experience in brittany gives her credible subject - matter authority . the breton culture , its rebel attitude , its mistrust of outsiders , shine through and form good plot - moving devices . the condition of the minds and hearts of the locals is well presented .
macinnes , who wrote more than 20 spy novels , would probably advise any budding espionage writers looking for fieldwork that the next best thing is to marry a spy . her husband , gilbert highet , was an agent for mi6 as well as an eminent oxford classicist . this , her second novel , concerns a british intelligence officer who tries to spy on nazis in brittany by impersonating a french local for whom he happens to be a dead ringer . macinnes pulls off this difficult literary conceit , making you believe that the interloper can really fool his doppelganger’s mother , fiancée and mistress . so authentic was the novel’s depiction of espionage behind enemy lines that it was used to train real - life allied spies .

i have been reading an old musty edition of this book , which i borrowed from a friend because it appears to be out of print . it is a spy story in which the main character impersonates a frenchman , whom he resembles , and takes up residence at his home in brittany . the frenchman ' s mother is shortsighted and much is made of this - - unncessarily , in my view . i am also shortsighted and i am absolutely sure that very little of the information we use to recognise people is visual . many great stories involve some sort of implausible impersonation , of course , so it ' s probably best to leave that to one side and plunge headlong into occupied rural france . the author takes us there by parachute and it ' s an exhilarating descent . i find the way helen macinnes writes to be very congenial . it is without humour , which is a bit dull , but she pays close attention to all the evocative little details that bring a place to life . reading one of her books is quite a sensual experience , which makes it especially frustrating to have to read a foetid old cast - off from a friend . but it ' s ok to read in the bath , especially if you can afford a liberal lacing of pungent lotions or oils . the story becomes more plausible as it develops and i enjoyed it more and more .

for all of its cluttered bureaucracy , my summer at the pentagon reminds me why i went back to school for my master’s degree in policy . despite laying down a clear “red line” against the use of chemical weapons in syria , in late august 2013 barack obama retreated from his promise to use military force against the assad regime , deciding at the last moment to not attack . while there was no way to know then that syria would become one of the greatest humanitarian disasters of the twenty first century - - costing hundreds of thousands of lives , turning millions into refugees , and helping to give rise to the barbarically cruel islamic state – i was still shocked by the president’s sudden about - face decision . in the week leading up to the decision not to strike , i had spent most of my waking hours on the phone with members of the media laying out all the reasons the united states should honor its “red line” in syria . i realized there is a difference in shaping talking points and policy , and i wanted to be on the other side of the coin .

a mix of lengthy descriptions , unlikely central plot elements and a measured pace may not sound gripping , but it is intensely so . the element of creepiness in above suspicion forces you to keep reading , worrying ever more and more about the myles as the nazi noose begins to slip around their necks , until a crazy action - filled ending results in significant bloodshed .
i am on a classic thrillers of the genre kick right now ( escapism ? ) - these early hm books are amazing . the characters and plots and writing all superb - utterly superb - and the pacing and density of the story remind me of how writing decades ago felt more meaty than a lot of similar genre fiction now . there is just no comparison between this and most modern thrillers - this is amazing . but the thing that is always in the back of my head is the view that macinnes , who was there in europe in the
an engaging period thriller , written at the time it depicts , and so a valuable snapshot of the mood and details of its moment in time as well as a very readable diversion .

plot : an english military intelligence guy named hearne parachutes into rural brittany in 1941 to spy on german troop movements . he adopts the identity of a wounded dunkirk evacuee , bertrand corlay , who is his physical double . hearne speaks perfect french , etc . etc . and gets a complete briefing so the substitution while suspenseful is not the main motor of the plot . so far , the novel reminded me of a minor but wonderful daphne dumaurier called the scapegoat : english guy drops into rural french setting and discovers that the french guy he’s pretending to be is a real jerk . the spying plot proceeds with slow , methodical detail which i quite relished , but which certainly dated the book as an entertainment . though the biggest shock came when our hero hearne is looking at his double corlay’s bookshelf and says to himself , “books are half of the man . ” at which point i could not help thinking , “not anymore , pal . ”
great review , jayne ! i have a few macinnes ebooks in the tbr . i was surprised how well rest and be thankful held up , and i’m looking forward to rereading this one .
young oxford university don richard myles and his wife frances are recruited to travel to europe during summer break in order to discover what has happened to a possibly - compromised chain of british secret service agents . the premise being that the two are so innocent - seeming as to be able to wander at will , from agent to agent , following the links as identified at each contact . in their travels they run in and out of numerous sinister encounters ; the nazis are very much on the ascendant and their evil shadow looms over the lands the myles visit on their journeyings .
to emphasize : these are very personal , completely arbitrary ratings . these are merely meant to be a measure of the book ' s success in meeting my hopes and expectations as a reader .
what a gift ! i found this book 20 years ago in my father in law’s library , and couldn’t put it down . then it disappeared . i’ve been desperate to find it lately , but couldn’t remember the title . thank you , carol ! i love the way you’ve woven the story without giving away all the details because i can’t wait to read it again and be surprised .
of the many things i had in mind for the summer in between my first and second years of graduate school , being a 27 year old intern was not one of them . and yet , now halfway through my 10 week stint at the pentagon , i can confidently say these past few weeks on the syria desk have been some of the most professionally fulfilling of my short career .
