CHARLOTTE GRAY
It is 1942. London is blacked out, but France is under a greater darkness, as the occupying Nazi forces encroach ever closer in a tense waiting game. Charlotte Gray, a volatile but determined young woman, travels south from Edinburgh. Working in London, she has a brief but intense love affair with an RAF pilot. When his plane is lost over France, she contrives to go there herself to work in the Resistance and 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.
