1940, France. In the middle of a devastating war, how many lives
can you save? Varian Fry, a young American journalist, arrives in
Marseille armed only with three thousand dollars and a list of
writers, thinkers and artists he hopes to rescue - so long as the
Nazis don't get to them first. With borders closing around him,
Varian tries to track down those on his list; renowned artists like
Marc Chagall, who cannot believe that he will ever be unsafe in the
country he loves. He smuggles them over the Pyrenees mountains and
across the sea hidden in boats, but every day hundreds of ordinary
Jewish refugees beg him for help. Does Varian have the right to
choose who to save? At home in New York, making a list seemed hard,
but in the middle of humanity's darkest hour, Varian must do all he
can to help. And as the Nazis begin to get word of Varian's secret
operation, he must dig deep and find the courage to rescue as many
innocents as he can. Even though his own life may be in terrible
danger. An incredibly compelling and heart-wrenching historical
novel, inspired by a powerful true story, about the extraordinary
courage and friendships forged during humanity's darkest hour. If
you loved Schindler's List, All the Light We Cannot See or The
Tattooist of Auschwitz, you'll adore The Flight Portfolio. What

FABULOUS!... The best historical novel I've read in a long time.'
