Jeanne The Woman In Red

Inspired by the life of Jeanne Tunica Y Casas (1894 - 1972.) Feminist, Communist and above all a woman of courage who almost single-handedly fought against the Colonial powers in New Caledonia. She ran away from France, her family, her daughter but ran into the arms of her Spanish lover. Together they would form a bond that would last for decades. She wasn't about to watch the events of the 1930s and 1940s unfold without action. The book is told in flashbacks and incorporates documents and translations of Jeanne's feverish writing. Jeanne Tunica Y Casas fell into oblivion and was buried in a common grave. Isabelle's novel has resurrected Jeanne and her extraordinary work. The world should never forget heroes like Jeanne.
