Barbara Mellor translated this amazing book, RESISTANCE, a memoir by Agnes Humbert, one of the first people of the French Resistance against the Nazis. I posted about it on my Lyon blog a couple years ago and Barbara and I became virtual friends. She owns the millhouse we rented! Annika was reading a book by Yoko Ono!
