About this listen

A Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon Charts best seller.

From the best-selling author of The Beekeeper’s Promise comes a gripping story of three young women faced with impossible choices. How will history - and their families - judge them?

Paris, 1940. With the city occupied by the Nazis, three young seamstresses go about their normal lives as best they can. But all three are hiding secrets. War-scarred Mireille is fighting with the Resistance; Claire has been seduced by a German officer; and Vivienne’s involvement is something she can’t reveal to either of them.

Two generations later, Claire’s English granddaughter Harriet arrives in Paris, rootless and adrift, desperate to find a connection with her past. Living and working in the same building on the Rue Cardinale, she learns the truth about her grandmother - and herself - and unravels a family history that is darker and more painful than she ever imagined.

In wartime, the three seamstresses face impossible choices when their secret activities put them in grave danger. Brought together by loyalty, threatened by betrayal, can they survive history’s darkest era without being torn apart?

A good book but harrowing to listen to at times. It told of French resistance during the war from the women's side, really well. The author wrote with courage to tell the truth of what happened even though this is a novel I think it has been well researched.

Courageous book

A brilliant story absolutely ruined by two of the most dreadfully monotonous monotoned narrators I’ve had the miss fortune to listen to!!!!!

I enjoyed the story, but really struggled with the narration - particularly the narrator for the modern day - and switched to kindle to finish the book.

I’m in the first third and I’m struggling to keep listening due to the i irritating voices of the narrators. In particular the narrator speaking in the near to modern day. I can’t decide whether to keep going or finish by reading the book. Very unpleasant voices to listen to.
