About this listen

'A moving novel of strength and resistance in the face of evil but also an inspiring journey of resilience after loss' Erin Litteken

A heartbreaking World War 2 novel that tells the story of two women’s fight for love, family and hope, as the world crumbles around them. Based on the true story of the Kindertransport rescue from Nazi-occupied Europe.

Berlin, 1936. The Landau family are at the heart of their community, running a music shop in Berlin and just trying to survive. But their lives are unravelling as Hitler's power increases and the treatment of Jewish families deteriorates. Eldest daughter, Rachel, fears for her sisters' future and will do anything she can to keep them safe. Will she find hope in the darkness?

Paris, 1936. As whispers of war travel over from Europe, American debutante Kay escapes her mother's grasp and travels as a reluctant spy from Paris to Berlin. But a chance meeting with the Landau family will change her life forever. Kay is determined to give Rachel and her sisters a fighting chance in a society where the youngest are paying the ultimate price, even if it means making dangerous enemies along the way…

As the world marches toward war, these brave women will find strength in joining forces to save the ones they love. But they will need the support of one another more than they will ever realise in order to survive…

A gripping and heart-wrenching historical novel about hope, tragedy and two women's limitless courage. Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Nightingale and My Name is Eva.

Breathtakingly realistic. The storyteller allows you to step into the shoes of those who were affected by World War II.

I liked the story. Chapters bounce back and forth from two characters. It is a nice story of the rich and famous and a young lady who debutes that life for one of service to others.

Great Historical Fiction

I have read or listened to about 300 books in this genre. This one was especially difficult. So much repetition, more of a romance than anything else, just painful to get to the end. I should’ve given up.

Tedious, overwrought, simpy
