I have just reviewed Lisette's list in Goodreads: "Very interesting and enjoyable. Lisette's struggles can be seen as very modern. I learned a lot about paintings, especially how to appreciate a Chagall or a Cézanne. Life in a French village during WWII is very well described, with residents and occupiers neither all black nor all white. There are several historical mistakes: Charles de Gaulle did not declare war; rolls of toilet paper did not appear until the 1960s (maybe 1970s?); the expression 'Victoire Européenne' (= VE Day) was not used, it was simply ' la Victoire'. There are also French mistakes: Paris is masculine and should be referred as 'il'; the expression 'être au courant' means 'to be in the know, to have been told', not 'up to date'. I don't think the Gordes castle was dynamited: could be the author's liberty?" If so, it should be noted in the Author's word. I really loved the book but maybe you should have had a French native review it....
