Would you listen to The Girl in the Blue Beret again? Why?

Probably not. I got the story the first time around, enjoyed it, but it's not in my top ten all time books.

What did you like best about this story?

The setting--it gave a new WWII perspective. A former WWII pilot revisits the scene of where he crashed in Belgium/France and the people who risked their lives to save him forty years ago. The towns, the food, the differences in the French way of life made it very interesting.

Which scene was your favorite?

Any of the scenes where the characters are sitting around a table (or are picnicing) having some wine and delicious food. I wanted to join in.My favorite scene, in a odd way, was when Annette surprised Marshall with the final story of her wartime experience. I won't say more, don't want to be a spoiler.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. It was much too long for that.

Any additional comments?

I was to host a book club meeting focused on this book, when I experienced a painful scratched cornea, and I'd barely started the book. I decided to join Audible and listen to the book. The narrator made the book even more interesting--good job! I was able to finish the book in a few days without difficulty, and host the group discussion. We all enjoyed the book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
