Storm Jameson and The Hidden River - Five Appalling Fictional Women

Storm Jameson's gripping novel The Hidden River drowns us in French correct behaviour, French honour and a family tragedy from the Second World War. Marie Regnier is the avenging angel of terror and implacable hate who refuses to allow any bygones or forgiveness in the reconstruction of family life, because her son was betrayed to the Gestapo, and she wants to know who condemned him to torture and death. For those who are left to clean up when the visitors have gone.
