Descripción
A #1 New York Times bestseller, Wall Street Journal Best Book of the Year, and a major motion picture. This unforgettable novel of love and strength in the face of war has captivated a generation. France, 1939. In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, who must go to the front. She doesn't believe the Nazis will invade France, but they do, with battalions of soldiers marching through the streets, with convoys of trucks and tanks, with planes filling the skies and dropping bombs on the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne's house, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or risk losing everything. Without food, money, or hope, Vianne is forced to make increasingly difficult decisions to survive. Vianne's sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old looking for purpose in her life with all the reckless passion of youth. As thousands of Parisians flee the city at the impending arrival of the Germans, Isabelle encounters Gaëton, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France. Isabelle falls completely in love but, after feeling betrayed, decides to join the Resistance. Never stopping to look back, Isabelle will risk her life again and again to save others. In love we discover who we want to be. In war we discover who we really are.
