Bad Faith tells the story of one of history's most despicable
villains and conmen - Louis Darquier, Nazi collaborator and
'Commissioner for Jewish Affairs', who dissembled his way to power
in the Vichy government and was responsible for sending thousands
of children to the gas chambers. After the war he left France,
never to be brought to justice. Early on in his career Louis
married the alcoholic Myrtle Jones from Tasmania, equally practised
in the arts of fantasy and deception, and together they had a
child, Anne whom they abandoned in England. Her tragic story is
woven through the narrative. In Carmen Callil's masterful, elegiac
and sometimes darkly comic account, Darquier's rise during the
years leading up to the Second World War mirrors the rise of French
anti-Semitism. Epic, haunting, the product of extraordinary
research, this is a study in powerlessness, hatred and the role of
remembrance. Shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize.
