Hero of the Resistance
From Nicola Bennett Sir: I have just read Douglas Johnson's review of Andre Hue's The Next Moon (Books, 21 February) in your magazine. I am Andre's daughter. My father is suffering from Alzheimer's and is now in a virtually vegetative state. He is not aware of the publication of his book and the reviews that it has
engendered. I have always been proud (that seems an understatement) of my father, not just for his work during the war, but because he is a wonderful person. Mr Johnson's review has made me even more proud and I would like you to pass on my thanks if possible. My father, were he still 'with us', would have been so pleased that anyone found his story interesting, let alone mentioned it in the press. He was exceedingly modest, thinking that he was simply doing his job and that he was a totally ordinary person.
I thank you for bringing some happiness to my mother and me during very emotional times.
