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
It is 1938. Clare Springer, seventeen years old and estranged from her family, is sent to Paris to complete her education. Relishing her newfound freedom, she's having far too good a time to notice the gathering clouds of war. France is invaded and Clare is trapped, though happy to be so when her French lover Fabien is reported missing. She determines to find him. Yet despite her wish not to become involved, Clare is sucked into the chaos and suffering around her, for how can she not help this country and people she has come to love? In the process she pays a terrible price ... As you share Clare's journey through a war-torn land, from wilful girl to loving woman, through appalling suffering to eventual happiness, you will be moved to tears. CLARE'S WAR shows Anita Burgh at the top of her storytelling form. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
