Book excerpt: The writing here is beautiful, stylized, descriptive, and ultimately honest.An amazing story is set in 1914 in Huiry, France, about 40 kilometres to the east of Paris. Told through the author's letters to an unknown party, Mildred Aldrich makes you feel both at home and displaced at the same time. As such, you really get a feel of where she is coming from as an American expat in a war zone. Originally from America, Aldrich spent 16 years in Paris before retiring to a beautiful little house in Huiry France. From her letters you can tell she wasn't supported in this decision and many of her friends, who wanted her to come back to America. Three months after settling, the battle of the Marne begins nearly on her doorstep. Fear plays a big role in this book, but not more so than what we do to move beyond that fear and live in the moment. This is reflected in Aldrich's behavior as well as the soldiers who camp at her home.

Book excerpt: Mildred Aldrich (November 16, 1853 - February 19, 1928) was an American journalist and writer. She was born in 1853 in Providence, Rhode Island. She grew up in Boston, taught at elementary school there and went on into journalism. She wrote for the Boston Home Journal, the Boston Journal and the Boston Herald. She started the short-lived The Mahogany Tree in 1892 In 1898, she moved to France, and, while there, became a friend of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas.She worked as a foreign correspondent and translator. Aldrich moved to Huiry, near Paris, in 1914, only months before the outbreak of the First World War.[2] Her house there overlooked the Marne river valley, and her experiences during the First Battle of the Marne, as detailed in her letters to friends in the U.S., constitute her first book, A Hilltop on the Marne (1915). Following the success of that work, Aldrich produced three more collections of her wartime letters. On the Edge of the War Zone (1917) contains letters dating from the aftermath of the Marne battle until the entry of the U.S. into the war, The Peak of the Load (1918) details most of the final year of the war, and When Johnny Comes Marching Home (1919) describes her experiences in the months immediately following the war's end. Aldrich also produced one novel, Told in a French Garden, August 1914 (1916), and in 1926 completed an autobiography entitled Confessions of a Breadwinner, which resides in the collections of the Schlesinger Library at Harvard University, but has never been published (although digital images of the typed manuscripts are displayed on the Harvard University

Book excerpt: A unique civilian's eye-view of World War I, depicting, through heartfelt letters from an American woman, a fascinating before and after picture of a French community in disarray "What looked impossible is evidently coming to pass . . . I silently returned to my garden and sat down. War again This time war was close by--not war about which one can read, as one reads it in the newspapers, as you will read it in the States, far away from it, but war right here--if the Germans can cross the frontier." "A Hilltop on the Marne" is a collection of letters written by Mildred Aldrich, an American expatriate who had bought a country farmhouse near Paris in the spring of 1914. Writing to her friends back home, she describes her idyllic life in Huiry, the minutiae of her farmhouse and her daily life. Ignoring the panicked pleadings of friends that she return to the U.S. As the political situation in Europe darkens, Aldrich stands firm in her decision to stay in France and her village, come what may. As war breaks out she looks out over Marne valley at the armies moving, hears the cannonade in the distance and watches as soldiers of all nations march down the lanes in turn. Aldrich's narrative goes on to describe the subsequent events of the war until America's entry into the fray and, returning to her narrative after the war, she described the process of rebuilding local life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hilltop on the Marne: Being Letters Written, June 3 September 8, 1914 Well, the deed is done. I have not wanted to talk with you much about it until I was here. I know all your objections. You remember that you did not spare me when, a year ago, I told you that this was my plan. I realize that you - more active, younger, more interested in life, less burdened with your past - feel that it is cowardly on my part to seek a quiet refuge and settle myself into it, to turn my face peacefully to the exit, feeling that the end is the most interesting event ahead of me - the one truly interesting experience left to me in this incarnation. I am not proposing to ask you to see it from my point of view. You cannot, no matter how willing you are to try. No two people ever see life from the same angle.
