ASSIGNMENT IN BRITANNY 4'Assignment in Britannyn by Helen Maclnnes is one of the outstanding war novels of the year. It is a story of espionage in occupied France. Bertrand Corlay, a French soldier, had escaped from Dunkirk to England, where he lay wounded in a hospital. Martin Hearne, an Englishman, re- sembled Corlay exactly and was taught to become as much like him in charac- ter as possible. After having achieved this to the best of his ability, Hearne was dropped down by means of a para- chute in Northern France with one idea in view-to investigate how and when the Nazis intended to use the' French coast. He made his way to St. Deodat, Corlay's home town, and was accepted by the invalid, Mrs. Corlay, as her long- absent son. Within a short time the Nazis occupied the little village placing soldiers on guard and posting their swastikas everywhere. But complica- fall tions arose--not only did Hearne in love with Ann, Corlay's iiancee, but and his he had to endure many hardships even imprisonment in concealing work from the Germans. p 5 The novel ends with Hearne escaping from Britanny, heading for England with his work completed, and feeling assured that he had done his part for his home land-Great Britain. -BETTY SCHUMMER, XIII JUKUS-Olim erat parva puella quae semper stolas limosas fmuddyi habebat, quod in locis limosis ludebat.
