My guest this week is historian, journalist and author Ellen Hampton, whose book “Women of Valor: The Rochambelles on the WWII Front” tells the extraordinary true story of a group of young women who became the only women's unit to serve on the front lines of World War II.

In our interview, Ellen describes what it was like to meet and learn from the Rochambelles themselves, what surprised her most, how the women’s families reacted, how differently the women were treated by French and American officers, and so much more. Then, she treats us to a reading from her book.

About Us
Since well before Victor Hugo looked up at Notre Dame and thought, "Huh... what if a hunchback lived in there?" authors have been inspired by Paris. The Storytime in Paris podcast will help keep this tradition alive with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection.
 
Every episode will feature five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and answered live on air. Then, our authors will treat us to a reading of an excerpt from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own Great French Novel. Happy listening!
