Romance Historical
Paris, 1940: Madeline tries to scream, but she can't breathe. A German soldier is working to free her from the rubble - but if he reaches her, he will find the books hidden beneath her clothes... When the Germans seize Paris, its peaceful streets fill with terror overnight, and nowhere is safe. Desperate to help her friends, Parisian bookseller Madeline Valette turns her bookshop into a sanctuary for those in hiding, but she knows it's only a matter of time before she's found out. So when she is asked to join the Resistance and smuggle banned books from Berlin, she accepts, desperate to defy the Nazis. And while she wants to save precious books from destruction, she also hopes her trips to Germany might help her find the last living connection she has to her beloved husband... Because Madeline has received a letter from a German woman called Ada, the mother of her husband's son. Facing persecution, the Jewish boy is in terrible danger. But where are they now, and can Madeline help them before it's too late? When Madeline finally finds Ada and the child, she realises Ada is at the mercy of a high-ranking Nazi official and both their lives are now at risk. Can Madeline get them to safety? Or will the unthinkable happen to this innocent child? The second unputdownable novel in the Paris Sisters series, this is the story of two women's bravery in the face of the darkness of the Second World War. Perfect for fans of Roberta Kagan, Kristin Hannah, and Fiona Valpy.
