What an amazing book this turned out to be. So sympathetically written, the story slipped seamlessly between present and past intertwining the lives of people and creating a picture of death and sorrow mingled with Joy and happiness. This story is so convincing it could almost be real. My favourite kind of book set during the war years, it is a must read and if I was able I would award 10* Thanks to the Author, Netgalley and TBC Reviewer Request Group for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Another gripping and fascinating book written by Fiona Valpy. The book cleverly moves between WW2 and 2017.
Harriet moves to Paris for a year's internship in a fashion house. She had found an old photo of her French grandmother with two friends They had worked at same fashion house all those year's ago. Harriet meets Simone and soon they are connected to each through the past.
A mixture of fact and fiction, we discover what life is like for o these three women who are involved with the French resistance.; German concentration camps as well as life in the fashion world.
This booked had me hooked from the start!
