Colette by Robert Hart

Colette is a book that will leave you feeling shattered and conflicted. It is heart-wrenching and inspiring all at one time. World War II has so many untold stories, that while ultimately tragic are intensely life changing and inspiring. One might pick up this book and think that the shortness of it will equal a simple story. And, one would be so terribly wrong. Packed into the pages of this book is a story so powerful that it will take your breath away and leave you pondering Colette for long after you have put the book away. Colette is a young lady who, at the start of the book, is facing imminent and certain death. She has done as much for her country and the cause as each man that took the field with arms. And her story is one of patriotism, love of others and country, sacrifice and courage. I do not know that I could have done what she did. From the first page to the last the reader will be hooked, drawn in and immersed into the thoughts, heart and emotions of Colette. And when the book is closed the message, the journey, the heartache and sacrifice and love will resonate in the reader leaving them inspired
