Charlotte Gray

Charlotte Gray by Sebastian Faulks Charlotte Gray tells
the remarkable story of a young Scottish woman who becomes
caught up in the effort to liberate Occupied France from
the Nazis while pursuing a perilous mission of her own. In
blacked-out wartime London Charlotte Gray develops a
dangerous passion for a battle-weary RAF pilot and when he
fails to return from a daring flight into France she is
determined to find him. In the service of the Resistance
she travels to the village of Lavaurette dyeing her hair
and changing her name to conceal her identity. Here she
will come face-to-face with the harrowing truth of what
took place during Europes darkest years and will confront
a terrifying secret that threatens to cast its shadow over
the remainder of her days. Vividly rendered tremendously
moving and with a narrative sweep and power reminiscent of
his novel Birdsong Charlotte Gray confirms Sebastian
Faulks as one of the finest novelists working today.
