From One Hell to Another by Liz Cowley and Donough O’Brien
Set in St Hippolyte du Fort and the Cévennes, this fact-based novel follows a Spanish family who flee Franco’s terror only to face Vichy repression and German occupation. Starvation, rationing, and the Milice push them into the maquis, where SOE support helps secure spectacular victories against overwhelming odds.
Drawing on local research and untold Resistance stories, the authors weave underground warfare, betrayal, and romance into a gripping narrative that honours the courage of southern France’s fighters.
