At the center of the novel is Bertrand de Roujay,

the free Frenchman of the title, a Catholic aristocrat

and civil servant who joins de Gaulle in London

when France falls. His adventures in Lisbon, Lon-

don, Yorkshire and Algiers are interspersed with

the contrasting, and often tragic, experiences of

his family and friends who remained in France.

The cast of characters is huge; spies, priests, crimi-

nals, civil servants, nuns, academics, politicians,

soldiers, prostitutes and policemen crowd these

pages, all of them so clearly etched that they

become unforgettable.
