She's heard the drone of planes and the thump of marching boots. Doors on every corner slam shut as the German flag billows over the Eiffel Tower. Leaving Cora just one chance to get her letter out of Paris. .. June 1940, Paris. Cora Mayhew is stuck in the city she loves, far away from her home and her family. A foundling baby from the last war, she came to Paris in search of the truth about her birth mother. The fine silver locket she was found with is her only clue. But the pressure of war feels closer every day, and her adoptive family are desperate for her to return. Frantically searching for information about her lost mother while she still can, headstrong Cora makes enemies of Nazi officials at every turn. But it's a German soldier who finds her freezing, alone and losing hope. With golden-flecked hazel eyes, Max Heller offers to help her to escape. Should she trust the enemy - even one she might be falling for. .. ? Then a stranger unwittingly reveals a devastating truth about her mother, and Cora has an impossible decision to make. .. Should she abandon the search and her feelings for Max and make the dangerous journey home, or risk her life for the man she loves and a woman she's never met? And as war closes in, bringing the cobbled streets to rubble, will the heart-wrenching letter she snuck out of Paris be her last? A heart-breaking story of love, identity, and resilience in Nazi-occupied Paris as one woman searches desperately for the truth in the face of grave danger. The perfect wartime read for fans of The Dressmaker's Gift, The Lost Girls of Paris and The Nightingale.
