Description
"In 1942, Charlotte Gray, a young scottish woman, goes to Occupied France
on a dual mission: to run an apparently simple errand for a British special
operations group and to search for her lover, an English airman who has
gone missing in action. Here is the full range of collaboration, from the
tacit to the enthusistic, as well as examples of extraordinary courage and
altruism. Through the local resistance chief Julien, Charlotte meets his
father, a Jewish painter whose inspiration has failed him. In a series of
shocking narrative climaxes in which the extent of French collusion with
the Nazis is delineated, Faulks brings the story to a resolution of
redemptive love."
