French Resistance
Novel Best Seller
A FINE OF 200 FRANCS
BY Elsa Triolet. (Reynal 1
Hitchcock, Inc.; $275.)
Reviewed Dy
FRANCIS P, DOUGLAS,

This is another book born of the
French resistance. It has been q
best seller in France where it was
awarded the Goncourt Prize.
The experiences of three persons
make up the three novelettes the
volum contains. One is young girl
who escapes into romantic fantasy
from the harshness and dangers OF
her activities against the con-
querors. >.
Another is a. woman OF the world
of affairs whose escape is into men,
ories-some romantic, some bitter
from the life spent in partings,
in waiting for the absent ones" and
from the fear the absent may no
longer exist. .. ...
The third. Alexis Slavsky, an
artist, is merely waiting out the war
until by chance he brushes against
the maquis. It is a stimulus which
revivifies his art and his interests.
1t is as if Elsa Triolet would say
life had no meaning in France un-
less one were fighting the Boches.
The author builds up her charac-
ters skillfully, chiefly through axpro-
gression of episodes. The flavor of
reality is not surprising. Miss Trio
let edited an underground news
paper and otherwise participated in
the work of the resistance.
The title is from sign French
cafes display warning that rip in
the green cover of the billiard table
will cost 200 francs. The phrase was
picked up as a code notification to
the maquis of the Normandy land
ing. Some of what happened at
that time is told in an epilogue to
this book.

The author writes of this episode

paper career. His effort Is another
example of the not infrequent lit
erary admission by former reporters
that perhaps they did meet some
interesting people in the news
gathering business. Although Mr..

strung together reports on many
happenings of considerable pathos
and humor.
The growth of the authors self

AS a cub reporter, he skunk forlorn-

COURTENAY PLASKITT.
Nora Lofts, whose previous novels
have enjoyed widespread popularity
now presents "Silver Nutmeg" a
f1avorsome tale based on the few
known facts of the Dutch East
Indies in the 1650s.
It is true that the Dutch rnonop-
olized the valuable nutmeg industry
of which the English were jealous;
it is true that the Dutch planters
became wealthy and built them
selves luxurious estates, and it is
true that they ruled the natives
with force that imbued them with
hatred for every white man, causing
native rebellions. 1t is also true
that glove marriages" were a COM
mon custom - marriages arranged
between the prospective bridegroom
and the girls family, when, as often
as not, the two had never met.
Into such a world comes Annabet
Van Goens, a well-born and reput-
edly lovely woman from the Neither
lands by way OF a glove marriage"
to be the wife of vain Evert Haan,
an unprincipled yet charming Dutch
planter.
Annabet arrives at the Island of
Banda, her pink-and-blond beauty
wrecked through illness. Shal Ahmi,
a native possessed of mysterious
powers and strange wisdom, re-
stores her health and loveliness and
Evert finds himself in love with his
once-hated wife. She, in turn, loves
Christy Ayrton, whose business
dealings with Evert involve snug
Cling.
The lives of these four are inter-
woven in a brocade of intrigue.
How Shal Ahmi fits into the pat
tern is withheld until the various
threads are dissolved into open
