About The Author
American of Breton parentage, Micheline Vogel is the author of a collection of stories. After her formative years in Belgium, she lived n Paris and New York until she and her husband Joe, moved to Tucson, Arizona. She is presently working on her second novel Shelburne and The House of Alphonse.
Reader ReviewsMicheline Vogel tells an amazing story about people who find themselves in Brussels, Belgium, during WWII. These people include occupying German military, city residents, and other civilians who -- either by choice or by circumstance -- find themselves in Brussels during these terrifying and chaotic times. I liked the story for several reasons. One is because part of the tale concerns an aspect of the times not generally familiar to Americans and, especially, Americans who didn't live through WWII: there were evil persons systematically preying on the desperation of their own countrymen as the latter fled the horrors of the Nazis. This book is fiction, but the occurrences were reality. Also, the fact that Ms. Vogel clearly knew the geographic locations and lived the terror of those times is extremely obvious and effective. While she is not yet a seasoned author, she is certainly a WWII survivor with an important and affecting story. I am glad I was able to locate this novel.
