Summary

Torn between love and duty, and a fierce need to protect… 
Paris, 1940 For young, lively Murielle, working in the heart of Paris as a seamstress is a dream come true. She loves the bustle of the city, but as the War progresses and new restrictions for Jewish people appear, she begins to realise how quickly her world is changing – and how, soon, she may lose those cherished freedoms. 
Her best friend Zoe has always lived a smaller life. Still reeling from an incident from many years ago, she’s already used to being on her guard. But as the Occupation tightens controls on everyone, Zoe knows she must find the courage to stand up and protect the people she loves. 
When the two women come across a fallen English pilot, they don’t hesitate. As they put their lives on the line to help the airman escape, their friendship bonds are truly tested. For a chance of happiness, Murielle and Zoe will have to make an impossible decision — one that will demand the greatest sacrifice of all…
