I just read an interesting novel , A Lion in Waiting (Kindle Edition) by H.W. Coyle.
A fast summary: Set at the start of WWII with the British Expeditionary Force retreating toward Dunkirk in 1940. British officer Ian Wylie survives a massacre of prisoners after his unit is captured during its retreat toward Dunkirk to be evacuated. At first, he finds sanctuary on a small farm and assumes the identity of the farm's owner’s sister, Diane Lambert, and accepts an offer to teach at a Catholic girls' school in Normandy. What follows is a close-up look at what the French faced as an occupied country.
I found it fascinating.
