Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I was born in 1912 in Wellington, New Zealand. My family settled in Sydney, Australia, when I was about two years old. In 1932, I sailed to America and Europe. I found New York to be an exciting city, and I loved working and living in Paris.#2 I learned to shop in the little markets around Paris. I learned to appreciate my food and wine, and I learned to cook. I was able to make a living writing articles and doing interviews, and selling them to press agencies.#3 I had always believed in freedom of religion and worship, so I was horrified to witness so many examples of the outcome of Hitler’s policies. I had never been interested in politics, but after visiting Vienna and Berlin, I became interested in the Nazis.#4 I was going to Marseille in October 1934 to write an article on the visit there of King Alexander of Yugoslavia. As the Paris Express pulled into Cannes, I saw the most extraordinarily beautiful young woman standing on the platform with an older man. I was intrigued, but soon forgot them.
