Critics Review

Immersive, nuanced, impeccably researched - a real feeling for time, place and character.– Ian Rankin

A beautifully written and moving story of love and betrayal that casts light on the “Dark Years” of French history, 1940-44. It is a novel suffused with a love and appreciation of France and French culture, and a highly intelligent examination of the other country that is the past. – Allan Massie
An elegant and charming novel which provides a memorable insight into the world of Vichy France … The modern narrative is cleverly intermixed with the historical story … It is poignant, nostalgic and redolent of the smell of France * Simon Brett *
Immersive, nuanced, impeccably researched - a real feeling for time, place and character. * Ian Rankin *
