Set in England and France during the darkest days of World War II, this story tells of a young Scottish woman who falls in love with an RAF pilot shortly before his plane is lost over France. She contrives to go there herself to work in the Resistance and also to search for him, but then is unwilling to leave as she finds that the struggle for the country's fate is intimately linked to her own battle to take control of her life. Abridged.

"Faulks's last novel, BIRDSONG..., was also about a combination of love and war, but CHARLOTTE GRAY seems to have been written by two people. One is planning a two-part television movie with passionate love scenes, filmed partly in picturesque rural France. The other has something serious to say about the human condition: about changing perceptions of morality, existential solitude, the dehumanizing effects of war, the nature of romantic love. But these reflections don't always match the characters with whom they've been paired."
