338. Sebastian Faulks - Charlotte Gray

Took this to Spain for aeroplane reading.

I had remembered it mainly as a ‘French resistance’ novel with the dropped in British heroine, but it is more about the persecution of the Jews in Vichy and latterly Nazi occupied France, which I knew little (or really anything) about. So the romance between Charlotte and Peter the English pilot almost takes 2nd place behind this quite grim story.

It is good, although I think Faulks is a bit over-rated, apart from 'The Girl at the Lion d’Or'.
