June 1940. As Paris, the City of Light, approaches its darkest hour, a young woman treads the line between survival and collaboration. Londoner Cora Masson has reinvented herself as Coralie de Lirac, using a false claim to aristocratic birth to launch herself as a fashionable milliner. When the Nazis invade, the influence of a high-ranking lover protects her business. But the cruel demands of war - and of love - cannot be kept at bay forever.

In 1944, British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken plane into the verdant fields of German-occupied Tuscany. Badly wounded, he found refuge in a ruined monastery and in the arms of Sofia Bartoli. But the love that kindled between them was shaken by an irreversible betrayal. Nearly 30 years later, Hugo's estranged daughter, Joanna, has returned home to the English countryside to arrange her father's funeral. Among his personal effects is an unopened letter addressed to Sofia. In it is a startling revelation.

When Hazel is given the chance to parachute into Nazi-occupied France, she seizes the opportunity to do more for the British war effort than file paperwork. Alongside her childhood friend, French-born Rose, she quickly rises up the ranks of the freedom fighters. For Rose, the Resistance is a link to her late husband, and a way to move forward without him. What starts out as helping downed airmen becomes a bigger cause when they meet Sophia, a German escapee and fierce critic of Hitler who is wanted by the Gestapo.

Publisher's Summary

It's 1940, Guernsey. Vivienne de la Mare waits nervously for the bombs to drop. Instead comes quiet surrender and insidious occupation. Her husband is fighting on the frontline, and her new life is one where the enemy lives next door. Small acts of kindness from one Nazi soldier feel like a betrayal. But how can you hate your enemy when you know his name, when he makes you feel alive, when everything else is dying around you?

Interesting

What a lovely story, almost found myself on the island with them. But the last few chapters were a big disappointment.

Great story in beautiful Guernsey

What made the experience of listening to The Collaborator the most enjoyable?

A well written and well researched book covering the occupation of Guernsey 1940 - 45. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was sorry to finish it.

What other book might you compare The Collaborator to, and why?

This story is in a much higher league than The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

Which character – as performed by Jilly Bond – was your favourite?

Milly

Average Historical Fiction

This book wasn't bad, the story captured me and I found it to be a pretty satisfying narrative as well as ending. It was also interesting, I have always been curious about Guernsey and enjoy reading fiction and real life accounts about the people who were stuck there during the invasion. The narrator frustrated me a bit with the performance of this AudioBook, she was constantly reading in a frantic tone (while there were moments in the novel to be read in a frantic tone, not all of it required this!) and I sometimes found the voice used for the daughters to be utterly annoying. It's not the best historical fiction I've read, but it's not terrible either.
