Summary
Inspired by a true story, Francesca Pascal is a compelling World War II adventure from the best-selling author of Farewell Bergerac, The Cyclist, and Galdir: A Slave's Tale.
The Cyclist was the Historical Novels Society editor's choice; and Galdir is "highly commended" by the Yeovil Literary Prize.
France, 1942: A Nazi Officer steals a Matisse painting that becomes a symbol of freedom against the oppressors.
Francesca, an artist and conservator, grieving over the death of her daughter at the hands of German soldiers, flees Paris. She has only a handful of paintings and a desire for revenge she is ill-equipped to pursue.
In the long, hard winter that follows, she joins a group of Partisans in their battle to free France and salvage her culture. She becomes embroiled in a plot to recover Le Mur Rose, the stolen painting. The painting becomes her reason for fighting and an opportunity for revenge upon the occupying force - a force for evil.
Francesca Pascal is an unforgettable World War 2 adventure tale of revenge, art theft, romance, and intrigue.

Critic reviews
"The author flawlessly succeeds in bringing together a tale worthy of the many lives that were lost in France during World War II. Chapter One drops a bombshell, and onwards from here, the reader follows a woman whose life has been turned upside down by people who felt they were destined to rule and took this idea a little bit further with drastic consequences. The plot is fantastic and the characters are fully immersed in the story. Dialogue is flawless and grammatical errors are non-existent." (George Shadow's Awesome Reviews - author of The Black Book)
