Charlotte Gray by Sebastian Faulks
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 enthusiastic, 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.

Condition: Good
A vintage book that has been read but is in good condition. Very minimal damage to the cover including minor scuff marks along the edges, and a small white rectangular patch has been left on the top-left corner of the front cover, caused by the removal of an old price-tag, but no holes or tears. All pages are undamaged with no creasing or tearing, no pencil underlining of text, no highlighting of text, no writing in margins. No missing pages. A clean, solid, and still very much readable copy.
