Where can I find Pearl Cornioley's autobiography Pauline?

April 3, 2008 11:30 AM

I saw the question in the blue a few days ago about Pearl Cornioley. Wikipedia mentions a book she wrote. Can you help me find it?

The autobiography is called Pauline, written with the help of journalist Hervé Larroque in 1996, isbn ISBN 978-2-9513746-0-7. I suspect that this is a french book because amazon doesn't know what the ISBN is, and I found this. Any chance anyone has heard of the book, or found an english translation? I know there are accounts of Cornioley's wartime experiences in other books, I'm just intrigued to hear it in her own words.

Not only does Amazon not know it, but Worldcat doesn't either. You sure you have the title and author correct?

It was published in French, but you can read English excerpts here.

Actually here is precisely where the excerpts start. There is no full English translation.
