Rating: 5 out of 5

Exciting thriller set during the early years of Germany's occupation of France.  The main characters are (1)  a destitute young Spanish woman just getting by while she looking for her father who had been picked up by the Gestapo, (2) a Gestapo officer, (3) a German army officer, and (3) a German businessman.The book gives a good picture of the struggles of ordinary citizens to survive.  (The woman works for a while as a dishwasher, the compensation being a share of the food left over by German officers.)  She becomes "involved" with the  Army officer trying to get a lead on her father and seeks revenge against the Gestapo officer.  She gets involved with exciting underground activities against the Nazis. There is romantic tension between the young woman and the businessman.The sex is very story appropriate, but the book is not for young readers due to the sex and the violence.  The sex is not designed to excite.
