3.75/5
Very good collection of short stories by Vercors, all set during WW2.
In Le Silence de la mer, silence plays a major role as a resistance tool. It's really well written.
Outside one or two stories I didn't care much about, the other stories in this collection are equally good, I really enjoyed Ce jour-là, which is told by a young narrator about the arrest of his parents.
