Story4.5 out of 5 stars 459
Summer 1940: Hedy Bercu fled Vienna two years ago. Now she watches the skies over Jersey for German planes, convinced that an invasion is imminent. When it finally comes, there is no counterattack from Allied forces - the Channel Islands are simply not worth defending. Most islanders and occupying forces settle into an uneasy coexistence, but for Hedy, the situation is perilously different. For Hedy is Jewish — a fact that could mean deportation, or worse.

Incredible story!

I really enjoyed this story. After I read the book, I looked forward to listening to it on Audible, and it really brought the characters to life! It’s a wonderful story being true to the history, and how they survived the occupation was incredible. I really enjoyed how Dorothea’s character developed, and of course Hedy & Kurt’s story. I would recommend for those that enjoy historical fiction, especially WW II era.
