Her life was so fascinating and this book is only the first part. I reread it nearly every year. In the early 70's BBC Masterpiece had a
many part drama of the book. The movie was okay, but constrained in the storytelling by time. I'm happy to see it still touches people; an eternal story of the young and brave vs immoral governments.
