Her stubbornness certainly can be annoying, but cannot subdue the sympathy Kedrova elicits by capturing the intensity of a woman almost shattered by Nazi torture--the fear and sensitivity of a woman living within herself: finding solace in the literature and old photographs of Emile Zola and Victor Hugo, associating images of her playful grandchildren with Nazi soldiers guarding a campsite.
