- Summary:
-
Set in the thick of the Paris Resistance movement during WWII, this exciting novel tells of the deep involvement of Catherine Dior, the sister of fashion designer Christian Dior, and two sisters who risked their lives to support her efforts.
France, 1944. Gabby Foucher hates the Nazis who occupy Paris. As the concierge of ten rue Royale, she makes it a point to avoid trouble, unlike her sister Yvette. Both women are recruited into the Resistance by Catherine Dior, sister of fashion designer Christian Dior. Gabby discovers an elderly tenant is hiding a wounded British fugitive, and Yvette becomes a messenger for the Resistance. As Gabby begins to fall in love with her patient and Yvette's impulsiveness lead her into intrigue at an ever-higher level, both women will discover that their hearts-- and their lives-- hang in the balance. -- adapted from back cover
