Ann Widdecombe An Act of Treachery
Orion Publishing 2002 0297645730 / 9780297645733 Hardcover Very Good
"tight, unmarked, light rubbing to extremities() Ann Widdecombe turns to a totally different period and a different milieu: the French resistance in the second world war, for a new and just as compelling novel. Catherine Dessin is fifteen and still at Convent School when the Germans enter Paris in 1940. Her parents are patriots and she is taught to hate the enemy, but two years later she falls in love with a senior and married German officer, defying the anger of her family and friends. The strains which this act of treachery place on those who love her and the tensions it create as she turns from her Roman Catholic upbringing form the background an unusual and doomed love. Catherine grows up abruptly when Klaus, the German officer, returns from a spell home having realised for the first time the evil of the regime he is serving. Klaus now struggles with his own conflict of loyalties - between Catherine and his family and between his patriotic duty and his hatred of Nazism. Wary of ID: mon0000113659"
