About this listen

This is the extraordinary true story of a plucky young woman and her dramatic escape from a German-run internment camp in Occupied France.

Written in Rosemary's own words and completed by her daughter and son-in-law after her death, Rosie's story moves from artistic circles in Avignon, through occupied Paris and the privations of prison camp, and across war-ravaged Europe.

A tale of remarkable courage - not only of Rosie herself, but also of the many people who helped and harboured her at huge personal risk - Rosie's story sheds light on the little-known story of the thousands of British women trapped in Occupied France. Moving, enthralling, and inspirational, 'Rosie's War' is a book for all to enjoy.

What a disappointment

All jolly hockey sticks and what fun it was. Not representative of what was going on at all. Belittles the real struggles of people at that time.
Dreadful voice for narration

Written with a stiff upper lip

A true account of how a British lady faced the challenges of her experiences, a good read without too much graphic details. I have to say it was a pleasant read, but probably doesn't reflect the degree of the war challenges as some other books do. Don't expect worry, suspence or nailbiting moments, all rather smooth and pleasant.
