About this book
The sound of wooden shoes marks the return of inhabitants to Noyon after the Armistice. Katherine Shortall writes from her work with the Radcliffe Unit and the French Red Cross, serving as a driver in regions damaged by the fighting. These sketches follow the small signs of recovery she observes: workmen in Noyon, flowers growing across scarred fields, and a nurse's plans to marry in the battered cathedral.
Personal encounters give the account its scale. An elderly woman tells how she protected her wine, while a difficult drive toward Evricourt reveals a village almost erased from the landscape and an old man living in his cellar. Shortall moves between descriptive passages and conversations, recording both the damage around her and the practical life taking hold again.
