Summary
Two sisters. One must be brave. One should be afraid. Bravery, courage, fear, and love in a time of war. Despite their differences sisters Viann and Isabelle have always been close.
Younger, bolder Isabelle lives in Paris while Viann is content with life in the French countryside with her husband, Antoine, and their daughter. But when the Second World War strikes, Antoine is sent off to fight, and Viann finds herself isolated, so Isabelle is sent by their father to help her.
As the war progresses, the sisters' relationship and strength are tested. With life 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 exquisite in its illumination of a time and place that was filled with atrocities but also humanity and strength, Kristin Hannah's novel will provoke thought and discussion that will have readers talking long after they finish listening.

the story is amazing, the narration not so much
Once you get over the narration it's amazing. I love the story! I would have preferred to read it over listening I think.

Very emotionally moving
This brilliant story told by an excellent narrator at times moved me to tears. It brought home to me the desperate troubles that the true French suffered through the war years and the bravery of those that fought to aid the airmen that would eventually free them from the tyrannical German invaders. We must never forget or deny this happening and never let it occur again.

Excellent story
Loved it, starts gently, gets grittier and more addictive until you can't stop until finished
