At the height of World War II, three women must come together to fight for freedom, for the men they love—and for each other.

When Hazel is given the chance to parachute into Nazi-occupied France, she seizes the opportunity to do more for the British war effort than file paperwork. Alongside her childhood friend, French-born Rose, she quickly rises up the ranks of the freedom fighters. For Rose, the Resistance is a link to her late husband, and a way to move forward without him. What starts out as helping downed airmen becomes a bigger cause when they meet Sophia, a German escapee and fierce critic of Hitler who is wanted by the Gestapo. Together the three women form a bond that will last a lifetime.

But amid the turmoil and tragedy of warfare, all three risk losing everything—and everyone—they hold dear. Will their united front be strong enough to see them through?

Four and a half really.

I have to admit that the characters and the way Ms Lane fills them out to become real people is utterly involving and excellently written.
Her descriptive prose is little short of perfection, and she is very well educated and probably has a jolly good proof reader too, because there was none of the irritating poor grammar and typos that make me mark a book down.
I'm afraid my minimal dislike is probably personal and revolves around Lane's style of storytelling - jumping from one character to the next which I find disruptive to the flow of the story. It makes it easier to put down and sometimes I want to jump whole chapters when she leaves me high and dry in the middle of a good bit.
But I was also distressed by the lack of scenic description. I live in Brittany, not terribly far from Brest, but got no sense of the setting of the story in the countryside. And while our local history is steeped in stories of the Resistance and Maquis and the terrible lengths the Nazis went to in punishing the villages they suspected of supporting them, there was rarely a large building which wasn't taken over by them and it is hard to imagine that any part of the Resistance movement could be successfully run from a chateau. Indeed, our own local chateaux, and the convent school I now live in part of, were taken over by the Nazis and one of them was bombed by the allies towards the end of the war and is still under restoration.

Unable to put down

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 March 2018

Excellent read. A gripping story of three courageous women from different backgrounds coming together in the resistance to fight a common enemy, the Nazis, in occupied France in world war 2. Their bond became so strong each would’ve willingly given their life to save the other and they were put to the test many times. The vivid descriptions throughout the book and wonderful characters transports you into the thick of it, and has you regularly “sitting on the edge of your seat”. I was unable to put it down and was reading until the early hours until it was finished. Thanks to my Kindle, it didn’t disturb my husbands sleep.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2018

Disappointed that this didn't live up to other reviews. Having recently read & enjoyed The Nightingale (women Resistance survivors), I was looking for something equally enthralling of other women helping in the French Resistance during WW2. Unfortunately, found this pretty dull from the start. A lot of repetitive and unnecessary detail into each of the 3 women's stories. Seemed to be over the top or even exaggeration on the undertaking of their missions to help the allies. I did finish the book and for the first time for a long time I just wanted the author to get on with it and finish up.

Rose, Hazel and Sophia sent to France to help with Resistance towards the end of the War.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2020

Basically, this is the story of three British women recruited by the SOE and literally dropped into Occupied France towards the end of the Second World War and with various jobs to help the French Resistance.

At times the book was quite exciting when the girls were on missions in France, but the time spent on their training was minimal. This was my whole problem with the story, sometimes excellent and sometimes tedious. They all ended up in a whole chateau which the Germans took ages to locate? Husbands and boyfriends were boring, as was the huge Epilogue as, of course, they all lived happily ever after!

I am sure the author could have given us more action and depth of the main Resistance characters! Sorry if the book was supposed to be romantic.

Women at War and the French Resistance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2019

Verified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed this story set in the Second World War about Rose, Hazel and Sofia and their deeds in the French Resistance. I found all three characters to be well rounded, sympathetic and likeable. And their deeds were well grounded and not at all over the top. My imagination was not over stretched in believing what these three women did and what happened to them. I took an interest in the characters and was pleased with the ending. I have read a number of this authors books and I have not been disappointed. A good book that kept me reading.

Heart thumping.

I loved this book but had to only allow myself so long each day otherwise I would have read it in one sitting. The women were so real I was getting worried for them so many times. I felt extremely sad at other times. This book was so beautifully written I shall recommend to all my friends. Thank you for an exciting few hours.

This is the best book I have read in a long time. The storyline had me captivated from the very first page and made you feel that it was actually happening around you. Some pages were so fantastic I read them over again I was so engulfed in the storyline. Wonderful detail and although a novel the facts about the duties these brave young women did for their country was truly amazing. Written with so much detail and thought for these brave girls and nice to have a good ending with hope for the future.
