JOHN MURRAY, IndeperJdent on Sunday

In 1942. Charlotte Gray, a young Scottish woman, heads for Occupied

France on a dual mission - officially, to run an apparently simple errand

for a British special operations group and unofficially, to search for her

lover, an English airman missing n action.

As the people in the small town of Lavaurette prepare to meet their

terrible destiny, the harrowing truth of what took place in ~the dark years

is finally revealed.

As he so successful y did with the trenches of the First World War in

Birdsong, Faulks similarly evokes the atmosphere of the

Second...Novelists are masters of the imagination. Faulks is beyond

doubt a master
