A BRAND NEW heartbreaking WWII novel set in Occupied France from Helen Parusel. Perfect for fans of The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, Mandy Robotham and Gill Thompson!'An absolutely beautiful tale of secrets, love, and courage.' Amanda Geard 'Grabbed me from the first page and barely let me come up for breath until the very last word.' Deborah Carr
A hidden tunnel. Two frightened children. One woman who must risk everything.
Lyon, Occupied France, 1942
When Yvette Dubois's husband inherits a remote chateau, she reluctantly leaves Lyon behind - only for Armand to abandon her there to manage the vineyard alone. Isolated among unfamiliar staff, Yvette feels trapped in a life she never wanted.
Everything changes the day she hears a mysterious knocking in the library. Behind a tapestry, she discovers a hidden tunnel - along with two frightened orphans. Yvette learns the chateau once acted as an escape route for Jewish children and others fleeing Nazi persecution.
Yvette vows to continue the important work, wanting to honour the legacy. But Armand insists their safety depends on appeasing the occupiers. And defying him could destroy their future - and their freedom.
As German patrols tighten their grip on the area and whispers of betrayal grow louder, Yvette must risk everything to protect the innocent - even if the day may come when she'll need to use the tunnel to save herself...
