Synopsis
Winner of the Enid McLeod Award, this is a story of war and peace in the 20th century, which centres on the Fall of France in 1940. The novel's themes are treason, personal treachery, the delusions of ideology and the effect of these on both the actors and the innocents caught up in their wargames.

Review
Addictively narrated ... Out of one broken man's story evolves the weighty history and treachery of a whole era. (The Times)
As a prose stylist, Massie can write like an angel ... taut yet elegiac, epigrammatic yet wistfully lyrical. (Sunday Telelgraph)
If anyone needs a virtuoso example of what fiction can do that history can't, I would direct them to this novel. It renders Vichy France absolutely palpable in a way I have not read before: in all its abysmal compromises, hatreds, self-loathings, betrayals and silences. (Nicholas Shakespeare Waitrose Weekend)
I have no hesitation in calling it a major novel ... Massie here has vigorously pushed back the narrowing boundaries of English fiction. This is a novel of scope, substance and strength all too rare today. (Spectator)
Miraculous. (Auberon Waugh)
