Madeleine Robert like so many of the post-war generation is faced with the task of building her life anew - a few clothes, the memory of the man she loved, her own scarred hands are her pathetic legacy; but with blind courage she struggles against overwhelming odds to recapture the happiness she once knew. In a world of sordid reality, of hectic gaiety, of black marketeers and ubiquitous American soldiery, Madeleine's story unfolds. B2B. Very Good/Good.
