'I am a very ordinary woman to whom a chance was given to see human
beings at their best and at their worst... I completely believe in
the potential nobility of the human spirit.' During some of the
darkest days of the Second World War, a young Frenchwoman living as
a mother and housewife in England left her ordinary life to become
a British agent, working covertly in France to aid the Resistance.
Entering a murky and deadly world of espionage and double-dealing,
she was betrayed to the Germans, only to endure torture by the
Gestapo and the hell of the infamous concentration camp of
Ravensbruck. Yet she retained a compassion, grace and spiritedness
that mystified her captors; and, living to see the liberation of
Europe, she kept, in the direst circumstances, her fundamental
trust in goodness. ODETTE tells the moving and inspirational story
of a woman, who, in her courage and her ability to hold on to hope,
was far from ordinary.
