Alan Furst, Under Occupation







- This is one of Furst’s best. As usual it's set in occupied France in 1942 and the French Resistance and its heroism is front and centre. 

- The story has all the tension needed to bring the period alive, and the characters are endearing, apart, of course, from the Gestapo. 

- The sheer courage of so many French citizens at the time remains inspiring to this day. 

- A light but great and entertaining read (especially if you're crazy about Paris!)
