Description

'But how will I look after them? Where can I hide them?' She looked up at me and didn't try to stop the tears from falling. 'I'm begging you. Please, save our children.'

Paris, 1942. As the Germans occupy the city she calls home, Adele Basset is determined to keep her pupils' spirits up. Their dance class offers a moment of solace in the dark days of occupation. But when the Germans demand the names of her Jewish students, Adele is spurred into action. She can't stand silent while they're taken from her.

Hiding her Jewish pupils in the school attic, Adele puts her life on the line in search of an escape.

Joining forces with her childhood friend, Manu, the pair gradually entangle themselves in the lives of the Nazi officers. Soon, their plan starts to take shape. They will do anything to help the children to safety. Even if it means paying the ultimate price to save innocent lives...

An absolutely heart-breaking and unforgettable novel about the strength of the human spirit and the courage of ordinary people in the darkest days of war. Fans of The Lost Girls of Paris, The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Rose Code will be hooked from the very first page.

Thanks to Embla Books and Netgalley I was able to read this novel! This is a GREAT read for all historical fiction fans! It has great character development, and tells a beautiful story. It encompasses the hearts, fear and advocacy of those who believed against what was going on during WWII. This story focuses on the surroundings and happenings of a dance studio and those that work there. I would definitely recommend this beautiful story.
