Description
France, 1939, in the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says good-bye to her husband as he heads for the Front. She doesn't believe the Nazis will invade France, but they do, and they requisition her home. Her sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious 18 year old, who falls in love with a French partisan. And when he betrays her, she joins the Resistance, never looking back, and risking her life time and again to save others. This book illuminates World War II, celebrating the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. [From publisher's description]
Description
"Viann and Isabelle have always been close despite their differences. Younger, bolder sister Isabelle lives in Paris while Viann lives a quiet and content life in the French countryside with her husband Antoine and their daughter. When World War II strikes and Antoine is sent off to fight, Viann and Isabelle's father sends Isabelle to help her older sister cope. As the war progresses, it's not only the sisters' relationship that is tested, but also their strength and their individual senses of right and wrong. With life as they know it changing in unbelievably horrific ways, Viann and Isabelle will find themselves facing frightening situations and responding in ways they never thought possible as bravery and resistance take different forms in each of their actions. Vivid and exquiste in its illumination of a time and place that was filled with great monstrosities, but also great humanity and strength, Kristin Hannah's novel will provoke thought and discussion that will have readers talking long after they turn the last page"--
