A heart-wrenching novel of love, resilience and courage in World War
II, from the author of Sisters of War - perfect for readers who loved
The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The German Midwife.
Ukraine, 1943
On a train from Ukraine to Germany, Lisa Smirnova is terrified for
her life. The train is under Nazi command, heading for one of Hitler's
rumoured labour camps. As she is taken away from everything she holds
dear, Lisa wonders if she will ever see her family again.
In Nazi-occupied Kiev, Irina Antonova knows she could be arrested at
any moment. Trapped in a job registering the endless deaths of the
people of Kiev, she risks her life every day by secretly helping her
neighbours, while her husband has joined the Soviet partisans, who are
carrying out life-threatening work to frustrate the German efforts.
When Lisa's train is intercepted by the partisans, Irina's husband among
them, these women's lives will take an unimaginable turn. As Irina
fights to protect her family and Lisa is forced to confront the horrors
of war, together they must make an impossible decision: what would
they be willing to lose to save the people they love?
