Gabby is a 20 year old girl living in occupied Paris in l944. She is looking for her father who was taken by the Gestapo. She becomes a prostitute to get information about where her father might be held. Much of the story is the dialogue between Gabby and her German occupiers. There is particular attention paid to one German who is trying to get the German was effort to fail and the occupation changed from German to American.The character development on the main characters is good, but it is weak on the secondary players. The plot is fairly weak.I purchased this book because I like Michael Wallace's books on the religious cults of the Southwest. There are his strong suits and in my opinion he should stick to that genre.
