A courageous wife, mother, and resister confronts the devastation
of World War II in a heartbreaking and hopeful novel by the
bestselling author of The Venice Sketchbook and The Tuscan Child.
Londoner Madeleine Grant is studying at the Sorbonne in Paris when
she marries charismatic French journalist Giles Martin. As they
raise their son, Olivier, they hold on to a tenuous promise for the
future. Until the thunder of war sets off alarms in France. Staying
behind to join the resistance, Giles sends Madeleine and Olivier to
the relative safety of England, where Madeleine secures a job
teaching French at a secondary school. Yet nowhere is safe. After a
devastating twist of fate resulting in the loss of her son,
Madeleine accepts a request from the ministry to aid in the war
effort. Seizing the smallest glimmer of hope of finding Giles
alive, she returns to France. If Madeleine can stop just one Nazi,
it will be the start of a valiant path of revenge. Though her
perseverance, defiance, and heart will be tested beyond imagining,
no risk is too great for a brave wife and mother determined to
fight and survive against inconceivable odds.
