![]() ![]() The focus suddenly shifts from Charlotte’s love life and her (non-existent) SOE responsibilities to the plight of the Jews. Characters become talking heads and are often there merely to provide a commentary on the wider picture of what’s going on in France. Secondly there’s way too much research in this novel. This part of the novel is pure chick lit. They weren’t swanning around in France looking for love. These agents all belonged to a circuit and were highly disciplined. ![]() ![]() In other words you could say it’s hugely disrespectful to the enormous bravery and dedication of the real female SOE agents who certainly didn’t go to France for amorous reasons. She contributes nothing to the war effort. In France she gets amorously involved with another man. If you strip this novel down to its central storyline it’s about a young woman who goes to France primarily to find her airman boyfriend who’s missing in action. ![]()
