About this listen
War brings them together. Liberation will tear them apart.
A powerful portrait of war. a heartbreaking story of love. The extraordinary new novel from the author of While Paris Slept.
Paris 1944. Elise Chevalier knows what it is to love...and to hate. Her fiancé, a young French soldier, was killed by the German army at the Maginot Line. Living amongst the enemy Elise must keep her rage buried deep within.
Sebastian Kleinhaus no longer recognises himself. After four years spent fighting a war he doesn't believe in, wearing a uniform he despises, he longs for a way out. For something, someone, to be his salvation.
Brittany 1963. Reaching for the suitcase under her mother's bed, eighteen-year-old Josephine Chevalier uncovers a secret that shakes her to the core. Determined to find the truth, she travels to Paris where she discovers the story of a dangerous love that grew as a city fought for its freedom. Of the last stolen hours before the first light of liberation. And of a betrayal so deep that it would irrevocably change the course of two young lives life for ever.

Another good Ruth Druart book
I really enjoyed this book apart from some over dramatised scenes in the latter chapters. Overall the narration was good although I found Josephine’s voice and dialogue somewhat annoying.
As I have spent a significant part of my life researching WWII and in particular the French resistance, I appreciate that the author chose to write about the women who were shamed and ostracised by their French family and relatives. Although as they said they were often just trying to feed their families. Please keep writing this genre Ruth.

It brought me to tears, humanity expose’
Truly one of the most moving books I’ve ever read , the ruthlessness of war on family and nations. The endurance of love under trial the exquisite pain of decisions made out of fear and self preservation or that of one’s more vulnerable than oneself. Forgiveness and self-sacrifice. All encompassed in this story, poignant and beautiful.
