Her ability to masterfully describe human feelings and emotions, creating an incredible atmosphere and memorable characters – this is what invariably attracts attention to her work, forcing readers to buy up her books, while critics are in full praise of the talent of the writer.

This book became an instant bestseller in 2015. And in 2016, it began its victorious march around the world. The novel has become a real sensation for readers in 39 countries.

Events begin to unfold in a quiet French village where Vianne Moriac and her husband live in relative peace. But hostilities force Vianne’s husband to go to the front. The woman herself cannot believe that the war with the Germans will reach here, but very soon she will be convinced of the contrary. And now the Nazis are marching through the streets of the comfortable village, and the sky is invisible from the planes that have invaded it. Life forces Vianna to make a dangerous choice: let a German military man stay with her, or risk everything she has. But what if her life is at stake?

Isabelle Moriak is only eighteen, but her stubborn character and willfulness have already taken full effect. She is desperate to wage her own fight against the Germans, ready to take any risk. Her father decides to send the courageous girl to the countryside to join his sister. It is there that Isabel will meet her true love, Gaeton. In the midst of death and chaos, a strong feeling arises in her heart, to which she recklessly gives herself. There is no room for doubt or fear. She knows she must save as many people as possible, even if it means putting her most precious possessions at stake.

Vianne, like Isabel, must make her own choices that will lead them to irreversible consequences, changing not only the lives of the two sisters but also their own.
