'A compelling, beautifully written story of resilience, friendship
and survival.' Heather Morris, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz
The thrilling story of how nine young women, captured by the Nazis
for being part of the Resistance, launched a breathtakingly bold
escape and found their way home. As the Second World War raged
across Europe, and the Nazi regime tightened its reign of horror
and oppression, nine women, some still in their teens, joined the
French and Dutch Resistance. Caught out in heroic acts against the
brutal occupiers, they were each tortured and sent east into
Greater Germany to a concentration camp, where they formed a
powerful friendship. In 1945, as the war turned against Hitler,
they were forced on a Death March, facing starvation and almost
certain death. Determined to survive, they made a bid for freedom,
and so began one of the most breathtaking tales of escape and
resilience of the Second World War. The author is the great-niece
of one of the nine, and she interweaves their gripping flight
across war-torn Europe with her own detective work, uncovering the
heart-stopping escape and survival of these heroes who fought
fearlessly against Nazi Germany and lived to tell the tale.
