Vianne and Isabelle are sisters but have had a rough time of it after their mother died when they were very young. Now war is afoot and different personalities and life situations put them in very different places. Gutsy Isabelle almost immediately joins the resistance and puts herself at risk to save downed airmen. Vianne is struggling to keep her life together and her daughter safe while her husband is at war and her small town is taken over by the Germans including an officer her is billeted in her home.
The struggles of the time are horrifying but the heroic acts of both sisters are inspiring. This is a pretty hefty book but every page was a pleasure to read.
