About this listen

France, 1942: With Europe struggling under German occupation, Sophie Bélanger, grieving the deaths of her brother, fiancé and friends, is no longer prepared to stand on the sidelines.

Risking everything, she becomes increasingly involved in helping to save those on the run – even though that means persuading Jewish parents to hand over their children, in the desperate hope of saving their lives. When she is forced to flee to the non-occupied zone, her medical skills take her to the French camp of Rivesaltes, where she cares for the injured and unwell – until one day her luck runs out.

Meanwhile her twin, Adèle, has shed her socialite pretensions, completed her special agent training, and is poised to begin her first mission. Ready to set France ablaze, she parachutes into occupied territory and begins work drilling maquisards in guerrilla warfare, determined to thwart the Nazis at every turn – whatever the cost – and avenge the death of her beloved brother.

Soon both sisters are fighting for their survival – unsure if they’ll live to see each other again. Will the twins’ secret be their undoing?

An epic, awe-inspiring and heartbreaking story of courage against all the odds which will have you on the edge of your seat. Fans of The Alice Network, The Nightingale and The Dressmaker’s Gift won’t be able to stop listening.

Loved both books, very intense and very realistic, hope to see more books like this one.

Very emotional

Although the subject matter was harrowing in places, I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book (and in fact finished it in just 2 evenings).

The story picks up from the end of the first book so would recommend listening to them back to back. The main characters were very well written and the narrator really brought them to life. Highly recommended.

Unputdownable!

I hung on every word, felt their anger, pain and in the end overwhelming relief. What an amazing testament to all those who fought for freedom against oppression

Outstanding

a most excellent heart wrenching story. the lives of the brave people who stood up to the evil nazi regime is incredible. the horrors unbelievable of how they made people suffer.
excellent narration. highly recommended. not a story for the faint hearts.

Bravery at every turn
