Reviews
"In Small Acts of Defiance, Michelle Wright paints a beautifully intimate portrait that celebrates the courage and resilience of the human spirit." -- Jane Harper, author of The Survivors "Michelle Wright has deftly combined a sweeping history of a city under occupation with the tiniest details of family life and the tenderness of friendship. Small Acts of Defiance asks questions from the last century that we're having to ask all over again: when is it no longer possible to look away?" -- Jock Serong, author of The Burning Island "Small Acts of Defiance is a gripping, meticulously researched novel, and a nuanced, poetic and deeply serious exploration of the difference that individual choices can make in a society crumbling physically and morally. Wright recreates occupied Paris with immediacy and with melancholy tenderness, and asks questions about personal responsibility that are just as relevant today as they were eighty years ago. This is a book to savour and treasure." -- Lee Kofman, author of Imperfect "A powerful and elegantly wrought story of women's resistance. This is required reading for our times." -- Myfanwy Jones, author of Leap "Small Acts of Defiance is an evocative, deeply moving evocation of war-torn 1940's Paris. It's a brave, beautifully written novel about what it means to be human in the face of brutality, and why it matters. Put simply, it's magnificent." -- Laurie Steed, author of You Belong Here "Small Acts of Defiance is a story that attains the rare, elusive jewel of flawlessness. An engrossing, deeply-satisfying read, one of 2021's outstanding, not-to-be missed debuts." -- Melissa Ashley, author of The Bee and the Orange Tree "A powerful and nuanced book, so evocative of place and time while being timeless. I found it thoroughly absorbing; the characters felt authentic, and the details of Paris in the forties and under occupation fascinating. In these stories of war, in particular those which touch on the atrocity of genocide, it's easy to simply pile on the horror. Wright offers a more human, honest version without diminishing the importance of the Holocaust which is intrinsic to the time, place and characters. A truly fine novel." -- Graeme Simsion , author of The Rosie Project, In Small Acts of Defiance, Michelle Wright paints a beautifully intimate portrait that celebrates the courage and resilience of the human spirit.

Synopsis
"In Small Acts of Defiance, Michelle Wright paints a beautifully intimate portrait that celebrates the courage and resilience of the human spirit."-- Jane Harper, author of The Survivors A stunning debut WWII novel from award-winning short story writer Michelle Wright, about the small but courageous acts a young woman performs against the growing anti-Jewish measures in Nazi-occupied Paris. "Doing nothing is still a choice. A choice to stand aside and let it happen." January 1940: After a devastating tragedy, young Australian woman Lucie and her mother Yvonne are forced to leave home and flee to France. There they seek help from the only family they have left, Lucie's uncle, Gérard. As the Second World War engulfs Europe, the two women find themselves trapped in German-occupied Paris, sharing a cramped apartment with the authoritarian Gérard and his extremist views. Drawing upon her artistic talents, Lucie risks her own safety to engage in small acts of defiance against the occupying Nazi forces and the collaborationist French regime - illustrating pro-resistance tracts and forging identity cards. Faced with the escalating brutality of anti-Jewish measures, and the indifference of so many of her fellow Parisians, Lucie must decide how far she will go to protect her friends and defend the rights of others before it's too late., "In Small Acts of Defiance , Michelle Wright paints a beautifully intimate portrait that celebrates the courage and resilience of the human spirit."-- Jane Harper, author of The Survivors A stunning debut WWII novel from award-winning short story writer Michelle Wright, about the small but courageous acts a young woman performs against the growing anti-Jewish measures in Nazi-occupied Paris.

I received the two others but not this one. I contacted the seller as it said it was delivered. I was nicely refunded my money for this die and it promptly was for sale again at a little higher price. When I questioned it, I was told that the supplier did not put it in the package and the other one was just found. I was told I could send the others back for a refund of cost, not shipping cost.Respuesta de puppybows-com- Votos a los que ha respondido el vendedor puppybows-com.- Votos a los que ha respondido el vendedor puppybows-com.I sent her an email telling her the manufacturer failed to include this pattern in my order, and because of the tariff situation, I had no idea when I would be able to get more of these. I did not hear from her, and issued a refund. At no time did she ask me to cancel the order. The following weekend while doing inventory I found 1 of these sunflower die and listed it for sale again. I understand she's frustrated, and offered her to return the order for a full refund. She wrote this instead.Sunflower daisy leaves fall harvest metal cutting die cut (#235961583381)
