Love and Courage in Occupied France.

Charlotte Gray is a heart-warming story of love and bravery in Occupied France. This book highlights the courage of the young Scottish woman Charlotte Gray, who, in the hopes of finding her lost love, embarks on the dangerous journey to France during World War II. Faulks's attention to detail is remarkable as he brings to life the full range of collaboration between the French and Nazis. The relationships Charlotte forms with the resistance leaders and Julien's father, the Jewish painter, make the story even more emotionally compelling. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn about the heroism displayed in Occupied France and love during war times.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

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."
