About this listen
The Schoolteacher of Saint Michel is a heartrending and deeply moving story of love and hope in World War II from the USA Today best-selling author of The Missing Pieces of Nancy Moon.
The war taught her to fight. The children taught her to hope....
Inspired by real acts of bravery and resistance, The Schoolteacher of Saint Michel is a heartrending and deeply moving story of one woman's courage and sacrifice during World War II, from the USA Today best-selling author of The Missing Piece of Nancy Moon.
This exquisitely beautiful novel is perfect for fans of The Rose Code by Kate Quinn, The Postmistress, Lilac Girls and The Girl from Vichy.
'My darling girl, I need you to find someone for me....'
France, 1942. At the end of the day, the schoolteacher releases her pupils. She checks they have their identity passes and warns them not to stop until the German guards have let them through the barrier that separates occupied France from Free France. As the little ones fly across the border and into their mothers' arms, she breathes a sigh of relief. No one is safe now. Not even the children.
Berkshire, present day. A letter left to her by her beloved late grandmother Gigi takes Hannah Stone on a journey deep into the heart of the Dordogne landscape. As she begins to unravel a forgotten history of wartime bravery and sacrifice, she discovers the heartrending secret that binds her grandmother to a village schoolteacher, the remarkable Lucie Laval....

"A beautifully worked tale of bravery, woven into the reality of a time we can't forget." (Mandy Robotham, author of The Berlin Girl)
"An emotional, beautifully constructed read. I loved the way the clues from the past and present slowly knitted together, answering the questions that had been missing their answers for so long." (Sunday Times best-selling author Jill Mansell)
"Gripping, at times heartbreaking, but ultimately uplifting, I found this beautifully written novel impossible to put down." (Sunday Times best-selling author Katie Fforde)

Creative NonFiction
Real life people back in a time of turmoil. The flashbacks tell of the tale of turmoil. The author crafts believable characters to take us back to that time when near neighbours were not at all what they seem.

Brilliant
This was a truly beautiful story well written and narrated. It had me wanting to keep listening. The characters were strong in the face of adversity. Left you thinking about the book and the period off time it was set.

The travesty and plight of the Jews of WW2 and the continued prejudice we still see today continue
Loved it, a little complicated all the names which is often the plight of such writers better to keep it simply but woman authors often seem to complicate things.
