A sweeping, emotionally charged World War II novel celebrating the unbreakable bond of female friendship and the heavy choices made in the name of loyalty.
In August of 1939, the shadow of a second devastating world war looms large over Great Britain. As the nation anxiously watches the headlines, three childhood friends in London find their lives—and their loyalties to country and to one another—put to the ultimate test.
- Nora, an independent former socialite, is determined to do her part by joining the Home Office’s Air Raid Precautions Department.
- Hazel, a talented matchmaker with an irrepressible sense of optimism, hides her own deeply guarded personal secrets.
- Marie, a German expat who has built her life in England, watches the rising political tensions with mounting dread, terrified of what war means for her future.
When Germany invades Poland, the home front erupts into chaos. Marie is suddenly labeled an “enemy alien,” facing the terrifying threat of being rounded up and sent to a British internment camp. Refusing to let their friend be taken, Nora and Hazel risk everything to keep Marie free.
