1. A Fine Of Two Hundred Francs
Set in winter 1942 Occupied France, the book follows three lives entangled with the Resistance: Juliette Noël, a courier moving across snowy countryside to stay ahead of the Gestapo; Alexis Slavsky, a painter concealing his Jewish background as he drifts between Montparnasse, Lyon and the Alps; and Louise, a Russian-born survivor of Nazi interrogation hiding in a safe house before rejoining the maquis. Their intersecting stories convey the constant danger, moral choices and quiet courage of people living under occupation.
