Description
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
On a train from Ukraine to Germany, Lisa Smirnova is terrified for her life. The train is under Nazi command, heading for one of Hitler’s rumoured labour camps. As she is taken away from everything she holds dear, Lisa wonders if she will ever see her family again.
In Nazi-occupied Kiev, Irina Antonova knows she could be arrested at any moment. Trapped in a job registering the endless deaths of the people of Kiev, she risks her life every day by secretly helping her neighbours, while her husband has joined the Soviet partisans, who are carrying out 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 family and Lisa is forced to confront the horrors of war, together they must make an impossible decision: what would they be willing to lose to save the people they love?

I love WWII fiction, especially stories of resistance fighters (I was never the same after reading "The Nightingale". This book was really good and I was so thankful it was given to me by Netgalley. If you like WWII fiction, don't miss this one!

Love historical books and this one is the best I have read this year. I would highly recommend if you are interested in the type of book.
Jennifer D, Reviewer
Heart wrenching and suspenseful at it's best with this book. When I get obsessed with a genre I have to read a lot of them. Historical fiction was one that I never thought I would read, much less obsess over, but here I am. This book gave me everything I was looking for in this genre. A definite recommend from me.
