Trace écrite for Mme Demeu.

This letter is sent by Remy Giraud in the aim to announce to the Guernsey book society the Elizabeth's death in the concentration camp of Ravensbrück.

The letter was adressed to any members of the society, because Remy Giraud didn't remember all the names that Elizabeth said to her. We can see that on the top of the letter, where it is written "To: "Eben" or "Isola" or Any Member of a Book Society on Guernsey". We learn from the beginning, the end of the story ( l. 2 ) : this is an analepsis. Perhaps that Remy doesn't want any nasty surprises for readers, they don't discover in the middle of the story. Then, the sender is Remy Giraud, but the letter was written by Sister Cecile Touvier ( l. 20 ) because her english is so poor, so the Sister write for her. Remy Giraud explains that she was in the same concentration camp as Elizabeth, in Ravensbrück, in 1945. ( l. 24 ). She lived in the same place, the Block Eleven ( l. 27 ), where they were four hundred women ( l. 38 ). It is Elizabeth who talked to her the first. One day, she presents herself as a friend and a confident because Elizabeth talked to her about her life in Guernsey.

Elizabeth shows her a surprise. Indeed, she shows a sunset ( l. 35 to 39 ). It was very important, this happy moment, for mental. After this surprise, they become friends. It is a willing suspension of disbelief, because it is very strange, for prisonners in concentration camp, to look the sunset quietly while it is dangerous. If they are seen, they are dead. Remy embellishes reality because she tries to forget Elizabeth's death that she find too unfair. Then, Elizabeth is like an apparition for Remy, because when she arrives, she pronounced her name ( l. 29 ), and that is a touch of humanity. They were just numbers in the camps. Remy wants that Elizabeth appear like the true hero. Juliet wanted an hero for her novel, she have. Elizabeth. This letter reminds us of John Booker's letter in which he
