NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For readers of
The Nightingale and Sarah’s Key, inspired by
the life of a real World War II heroine, this remarkable
debut novel reveals the power of unsung women to change
history in their quest for love, freedom, and second
chances. New York socialite Caroline Ferriday has her hands full with
her post at the French consulate and a new love on the
horizon. But Caroline’s world is forever changed when
Hitler’s army invades Poland in September 1939—and then sets
its sights on France. An ocean away from Caroline, Kasia Kuzmerick, a Polish
teenager, senses her carefree youth disappearing as she is
drawn deeper into her role as courier for the underground
resistance movement. In a tense atmosphere of watchful eyes
and suspecting neighbors, one false move can have dire
consequences. For the ambitious young German doctor, Herta Oberheuser, an
ad for a government medical position seems her ticket out of
a desolate life. Once hired, though, she finds herself
trapped in a male-dominated realm of Nazi secrets and power. The lives of these three women are set on a collision course
when the unthinkable happens and Kasia is sent to
Ravensbrück, the notorious Nazi concentration camp for
women. Their stories cross continents—from New York to
Paris, Germany, and Poland—as Caroline and Kasia strive to
bring justice to those whom history has forgotten.
