For fans of best-selling WWII fiction comes a powerful novel from Lynn Austin about three women whose lives are instantly changed when the Nazis invade the neutral Netherlands, forcing each into a complicated dance of choice and consequence.

Lena is a wife and mother who farms alongside her husband in the tranquil countryside. Her faith has always been her compass, but can she remain steadfast when the questions grow increasingly complex and the answers could mean the difference between life and death?

Lena’s daughter, Ans, has recently moved to the bustling city of Leiden, filled with romantic notions of a new job and a young Dutch police officer. But when she is drawn into Resistance work, her idealism collides with the dangerous reality that comes with fighting the enemy.

Miriam is a young Jewish violinist who immigrated for the safety she thought Holland would offer. She finds love in her new country, but as her family settles in Leiden, the events that follow will test them in ways she could never have imagined.

The Nazi invasion propels these women onto paths that cross in unexpected, sometimes-heartbreaking ways. Yet the story that unfolds illuminates the surprising endurance of the human spirit and the power of faith and love to carry us through.

Ich habe das Buch an einem Sonntag durchgehört (1,4fache Geschwindigkeit :-) )
Der Autorin ist es sehr schön gelungen, den Widerstand christlicher Zivilisten gegen die Besatzer zu zeigen, das Leid, das Juden und die, die ihnen geholfen haben, durchlitten, anschaulich darzustellen und die Menschenverachtung der faschistischen Ideologie bloßzustellen. Und auch zu zeigen, wie einfach man zum Mitläufer und damit Täter wird…
