Rural England, 1941 and Louisa Carmody is trapped in a dirty war of resistance as her country struggles under the heel of a brutal invader. In the dilapidated local village, trust is in short supply and the need to survive trumps all loyalties. From the crumbling mansion that is her home a ragtag resistance group pits its meagre forces against the might of the invader. 

Hunted by the enemy and betrayed by informers paid in blood money, the resisters know they cannot win. But they can exact a bloody revenge and it is this that drives them ever harder. Louisa can feel herself change because she too seeks revenge ...

Resistance and Revenge is the story of a village in the grip of occupation and of those who have the courage to fight back. It is also the story of ordinary people, of people damaged by war, but determined to win back their freedom, no matter the cost. But in this war within a war, the cost may also involve sacrificing their own humanity.

Catherine McCullagh trained as a history and language teacher before embarking on a twenty-year career in the Australian Regular Army as a teacher, linguist and editor. She then left the Army and established herself as a freelance editor, primarily in military history. Fifteen years later, inspired by the extraordinary stories that surrounded her, she embarked on a new career, this time as a writer. She has published two non-fiction works, Willingly into the Fray and War Child. Catherine's first historical novel, Dancing with Deception, was published in 2017 and was followed by Secrets and Showgirls in 2021. Love and Retribution marks a move away from the Parisian backdrop of these earlier novels, and a foray into the British experience of World War II.
