A fascinating insight into the writing of 'Monsieur le Commandant', a 'harrowing epistolary novel' (The Independent), 'a brilliantly told, unflinching account' of collaboration in World War Two France (The Lady). Romain Slocombe tells the personal story that inspired his novel, of the discovery that his grandmother was Jewish and had hidden the fact from her in-laws, who, in common with many of their generation, held anti-Semitic views.
He quashes the myth of the French as a nation of Resistance fighters and highlights the fact that immigrant communities and perceived outsiders continue to be scapegoated by sections of the public and politicians alike.
