About this listen

It was an idyllic summer. Until they had to escape.

France, 1943.

Forced to flee war ravaged Poland, Sara and her parents are offered refuge in a beautiful but dilapidated house in the French Alps. It seems the perfect hideaway, despite haunting traces of the previous occupants who left in haste. But shadows soon fall over Sara's blissful summer and her blossoming romance with local villager Alain. As the Nazis close in, the family is forced to make a harrowing choice that could drive them apart forever, while Sara's own bid for freedom risks several lives.

Will Sara be reunited with those she loves? And can she ever find her way back to Alain?

By turns poignant and atmospheric, this is the compelling novel from Sunday Times best-selling author Carol Drinkwater about the power of first love and courage in our darkest hours.

Gripping!

What a beautiful compelling story. I was completely enraptured and swept away in the story of Sarah’s life. The author narrated beautifully. I was moved to tears many times. This is one of the best audio books I have ever heard.
