English Summary/英文概要： On the night of the 22 September 1943 Pearl Witherington, a twenty-nine-year-old British secretary and agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), was parachuted into Occupied France. Like Sebastian Faulks’ heroine, Charlotte Gray, Pearl had a dual mission: in her case, to fight for her beloved, broken France and to find her lost love. Pearl’s lover was a Parisian parfumier turned soldier, Henri Cornioley, who had been taken prisoner while serving in the French Logistics Corps and subsequently escaped from his German POW camp.
Agent Pearl Witherington’s wartime record is unique and heroic. As the only woman agent in the history of SOEs in France to have run a network, she became a fearless and legendary guerrilla leader organising, arming and training 3,800 Resistance fighters. Probably the greatest female organiser of armed maquisards in France, the woman whom her young troops called ’Ma Mère’, Pearl lit the fires of Resistance in Central France so that Churchill’s famous order to ’set Europe ablaze’, which had brought SOE into being, finally came to pass.
Pearl’s story takes us from her harsh, impoverished childhood in Paris, to the lonely forests and farmhouses of the Loir-et-Cher where she would become a true ’warrior queen’.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1943年9月22日夜，29岁的英国特别行政处特工，珀尔•维什林顿空降在被占领的法国。就像塞巴斯蒂安.福克斯小说中的女主夏洛特.格雷一样，玻尔有着双重的任务，她要为风雨飘摇的法国而战，还要找回她失去的爱人。玻尔的爱人亨利.科尔内耶原是巴黎的香料商，参战后在法国物流兵团服役。服役中沦为战俘，随后从德国战俘营中逃脱。
特工珀尔•维什林顿的战时记录是独特而辉煌的。作为英国特别行政处唯一的一个女特工，她成为了一个传奇而无畏的游击队领导人物，组织，训练了3800余名抵抗战士。这名女性可能是在法国反法西斯战争中最伟大的组织者，她的军队被称为“吾母之家”。玻尔点燃了法国中部地区胜利的希望，使得特别行动处的计划实现，也应了丘吉尔的那句名言，“为欧洲带来一束火光”。
玻尔的故事让我们知道了她儿时在巴黎贫困艰难的童年，以及在谢尔省孤寂的森林和农舍中度过的岁月，也正是那里使她成为了一位真正的“战士女王”。（XAT）
