From the bestselling writer of Birdsong comes Charlotte Gray, the amazing tale of a Scottish girl who becomes swept up in the attempt to liberate Busy France from the Nazis while seeking a risky objective of her own.In blacked-out, war-time London, Charlotte Gray evolves a dangerous enthusiasm for a combat-weary RAF pilot, and when he does not return from a bold trip into France she's determined to locate him. Within the support of the Opposition, she moves to the town of Lavaurette, dyeing her hair and changing her name to hide her identity. Below she'll come face-to-face with all the reality of what happened during Europe's darkest decades, and will address a horrifying secret that intends to cast its shadow within the rest of her days. Strongly made, enormously moving, and having a narrative sweep and energy similar to his book Birdsong, Charlotte Gray confirms Sebastian Faulks as you of the best writers working today.
