Back of the Book
'It would take a mile-long essay to do justice to the many virtues of Sebastian Faulks's wonderful new novel. This riveting account of a young woman's odyssey...deserves the highest praise...masterful narrative and zestful pen-portraits. A beautiful near-masterpiece' John Murray, Independent on Sunday
In 1942, Charlotte Gray, a young Scottish woman, heads for Occupied France on a duel mission - officially, to run an apparently simple errand for a British special operations group and unofficially, to search for her lover, an English airman missing in action.
As the people in the small town of Lavaurette prepare to meet their terrible destiny, the harrowing truth of what took place in 'the dark years' is finally revealed.
