Londoner Madeleine Grant is studying at the Sorbonne in Paris when she marries charismatic French journalist Giles Martin. As they raise their son, Olivier, they hold on to a tenuous promise for the future. Until the thunder of war sets off alarms in France. Staying behind to join the resistance, Giles sends Madeleine and Olivier to the relative safety of England, where Madeleine secures a job teaching French at a secondary school. Yet nowhere is safe. After a devastating twist of fate resulting in the loss of her son, Madeleine accepts a request from the ministry to aid in the war effort.

Well-written and researched right down to the hats with corks on them in Australia to keep flies away. There was a good mix of good vs bad characters, and the only thing I found less believable was that the author maintained there were still Jews living in their own residences in 1942/3 in Paris-Jews were moved to ghettos or camps and neighbors were encouraged to rat on Jews so I doubt any remained freely walking around with their yellow star.
