"Dans un livre très bien écrit et plein de notations personnelles, Madame Hughes nous livre un récit vivant des jours tragiques de la guerre de France. La partie la plus intéressante du livre est certes le retour de l'auteur dans Paris occupé par les troupes allemandes. On revoit les Champs-Elysées vides, les magasins fermés et le Fouquet's déjà occupé par les Nazis. (...) Observatrice intelligente, Madame Hughes a fait une provision de constatations qu'elle nous livre aujourd'hui dans un style excellent." (Montréal, L'Ami du Peuple, 11 juin 1942) — "Récit impartial, intéressant par la peinture des réactions diverses des Français et des Allemands pendant les premiers mois de l'occupation." (Albert Gaudin, The French Review, 1943)
