Description
The Collaborators by Reginald Hill In the aftermath of France's liberation, Janine Simonian stood proudly in court, her shaven skull a stark reminder of her past. She had pleaded guilty to collaborating with the Nazi occupation forces, but why did so many French men and women betray their country while others risked everything for resistance? This novel explores the human dilemmas brought about by war, asking uncomfortable questions about personal loyalty and national duty. Through Janine's story, Hill portrays a complex web of motivations that led individuals to make choices with far-reaching consequences. A superb novel of conscience and betrayal, The Collaborators is a thought-provoking exploration of one of history's most difficult periods.
