Rachel Hore
France, 1939.
As war looms, two women make very different choices. Marie-Louise, a headstrong young woman who sees the atrocities for what they are, is recruited into a secret intelligence service that takes her across Europe and into the path of danger, all for the sake of her beloved France. It is a risk that will put her behind bars, and only her courage will allow her to escape.
Sussex, 1939.
Sarah, a happily married wife and devoted mother, is forced to endure her husband’s absence as the fighting continues. Kept going by his letters, she welcomes young evacuee boys to her home in the countryside, whilst braving life in her village alone.
When the two women’s lives collide, they are confronted with what they have lost and what they have gained, as the war brings sacrifice, love, and courage to the forefront. In the face of danger, can these two women find their way, helping the war effort whilst remaining true to themselves?

Recensioni della critica
'I’d never heard the heartstopping real-life story of wartime Resistance intelligence network Alliance and its brave and glamorous female leader. So thank goodness Hore has written a novel about them ... A moving, timely and original take on what some women did, and sacrificed, in wartime.' DAILY MAIL
'A heart-stopping rollercoaster of a novel, based on the almost unbelievable real life experience of a young French woman in WW2. Right from the prologue, I was terrified for her, and speechless with admiration for her courage and ingenuity. This story is a sobering reminder of the terrible dangers faced by ordinary people in the face of Nazi aggression, but also an upliftng story of courage and endurance. It is meticulously researched and rich with detail, as well as being a page-turner which I couldn’t put down. A new classic of WW2 fiction.' MAGGIE BROOKES, author of The Prisoner's Wife
