Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Clare Springer is 17 years old in 1938 and estranged from her family when she is sent to Paris to finish her education. But Clare is having too good a time to bury her head in books, and barely heeds that the nightmare of war is around the corner. After France is occupied by the Nazis, she finds herself trapped, but learns to get along--until her French lover Fabien goes missing. Although she tries not to become involved in the political situation, she finds it more and more impossible to avoid being caught in the growing menace and danger around her. Anita Burgh's Clare's War maintains the high standard of all her books. The strong and powerfully realised sense of how France felt under Nazi rule is what gives this tale of a young woman's struggle its solid emotional impact. In earlier books such as Distinctions of Class, Burgh showed herself to be a writer who has that rare gift: an absolute and steely grasp of human character. As Clare develops from a frivolous young girl to a responsible woman coming to terms with love, the reader is drawn inexorably into a narrative that never loses its grip. --Barry Forshaw --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

Sent to France to finish her education, Clare Springer falls in love with a French aristocrat, whose family reject her as unsuitable. At the outbreak of war, Clare becomes involved in the Resistance, but when peace comes, she is accused of being a collaborator.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great story, 22 May 2003
I love books that are set during World War 2 and this one didn't disappoint. Anita Burgh told the story of one girl's journey through war torn France really well. I can't wait to read more of her books as this was my first.

5.0 out of 5 stars A super book, 29 Dec 2001
By A Customer
As the title says this is a wartime story of life in German Occupied France during the Second World War. I could not put it down once I had started. The story of Clare from her arrival in Paris before the war started is totally compelling and all embracing - it sucks you in. The atmosphere that Anita Burgh creates is wonderful and feels absolutely real. It also led me to reconsider some of my predjudices concerning the war. A really wonderful book for all to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine way to honour the French Resistance
I've just finished this book and like others I couldn't put it down even though the tension at times anticipating the capture of various characters was excruciating. Read more
