Beskrivelse
A heart-wrenching novel of love, resilience and courage in World War II, from the author of Sisters of War – perfect for readers who loved The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The German Midwife.
Ukraine, 1943
Lisa Smirnova is on a train from Kiev to Germany, terrified for her life. The train is under Nazi command and its occupants fear it is heading for one of Hitler’s rumoured labour camps.
In the same moment, Irina Antonova finally finishes work for the day, where she registers the seemingly endless deaths of the people of occupied Kiev. She has a child to care for, and she hasn’t seen her husband since he joined the Soviet partisans, who are carrying out secret, life-threatening work to frustrate the German efforts.
When Lisa’s train is intercepted by the partisans, Irina’s husband among them, these women’s lives will take an unimaginable turn. As Irina fights to protect her daughter, Lisa is forced to confront the horrors of war, and together, they must make an impossible decision: what would they be willing to lose to protect the people they love?
