Synopsis

Inspired by a true story, Francesca Pascal is a compelling World War II adventure from the bestselling author of Farewell Bergerac, The Cyclist and Galdir: A Slave's Tale. France, 1942: A Nazi Officer steals a Matisse painting which 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 wartime tale of vengeance, art theft, and intrigue.

About this title

Review

Strong praise for Fredrik Nath's previous books, published by Fingerpress: The Cyclist - World War II Series, part I "A haunting and bittersweet novel that stays with you long after the final chapter - always the sign of a really well-written and praiseworthy story. It would also make an excellent screenplay." - Historical Novels Review - Editor's Choice, Feb 2011 Farewell Bergerac - World War II Series, part II A Wartime Tale of Love, Loss and Redemption "World War II is such a popular subject, but few writers deal with it in a manner that feels genuine. Fredrik Nath is one of those few." - The Masked Persona Galdir: A Slave's Tale - Barbarian Warlord Saga, volume I "Highly Commended" in the Yeovil Literary Prize 2011 "Bloody, brutal and sexually unruly. Not for your kid, trust me, but an interesting read all the same." - George Shadow's Book and Movie Reviews

In his time, he has run twenty consecutive Great North Run half-marathons, trekked to 6000m in Nepal, and crossed the highest mountain pass in the world.
