The Red Rooster (Le Cock Rouge) by Michael Wallace. This is a story that begins at the Red Rooster, a restaurant/bar in occupied France in 1940. It has a myriad of characters: prostitutes, destitutes, Nazi's, Zazous, Maqui, Gestapo, and German businessmen. It is the story of Gabriella, a 20 year old whose father is taken by the Gestapo and she does what a girl has to do to survive in WWII occupied France. Once of the best French occupation stories that I've read and WWII is both my passion and the topic of my master's thesis, so I've read a lot of them! ( )
