2.0

My rating doesn't give justice to Faulks' good writing in Charlotte Gray. However, my hopes in Charlotte Gray had been easily dampened with the emotionally detached romantic involvements of Gray. With such good words, Faulks wrote a largely dull plot of an SOE agent in the World War II era. 

Julien's world had been rather interesting than Charlotte's and that was the only thing keeping me from dragging the very first Faulks book I've read to a lone-star rating.
