Acerca de esta escucha

A courageous young noblewoman risks her life to hide French resistance fighters; 70 years later, her granddaughter visits the family’s abandoned chateau and uncovers shocking secrets from the past.

Gisèle Duchant guards a secret that could cost her life. Tunnels snake through the hill under her family’s medieval chateau in Normandy. Now, with Hitler’s army bearing down, her brother and several friends are hiding in the tunnels, resisting the German occupation of France.

But when German soldiers take over the family’s château, Gisèle is forced to host them as well - while harboring the resistance fighters right below their feet. Taking in a Jewish friend’s baby, she convinces the Nazis that it is her child, ultimately risking everything for the future of the child. When the German officers begin to suspect her deception, an unlikely hero rescues both her and the child.

A present day story weaves through the past one as Chloe Sauver, Gisèle’s granddaughter, arrives in Normandy. After calling off her engagement with a political candidate, Chloe pays a visit to the chateau to escape publicity and work with a documentary filmmaker, Riley, who has uncovered a fascinating story about Jews serving in Hitler’s army. Riley wants to research Chloe’s family history and the lives that were saved in the tunnels under their house in Normandy. Chloe is floored - her family isn’t Jewish, for one thing, and she doesn’t know anything about tunnels or the history of the house. But as she begins to explore the dark and winding passageways beneath the chateau, nothing can prepare her for the shock of what she and Riley discover...

With emotion and intrigue, Melanie Dobson brings World War II France to life in this beautiful novel about war, family, sacrifice, and the secrets of the past.

This book is loosely based on a true story of a French women’s, heroic attempts, to save, innocent children, and Allied downed Airman. The story is well written and performed. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Wonderful

I love a good WW2 story, but it is even better when based on someone’s real story! I enjoyed the French prospective. The split time storyline enhanced the story. A clear message of leaning on your faith in God during extremely difficult circumstances. This is a must read for lovers of WW2 historical fiction.

Bravery under extreme circumstances

This book was beautifully written! I loved the story so much and didn’t want it to end! I liked that it was a clean book even though we know the horrors of Hitler! I learned so much about about the Nazis trying to take over France. I loved the courage of the characters in this story. The narrator was great !

Highly recommended

The stories didn't seem very cohesive. I enjoyed the flashbacks but the present day sounded like a romance novel.

Was hopeful

I enjoyed this so much more than I expected. The background of the war means "we know what happened" on the large scale. The personal stories of each of these interesting characters makes the reader care about what happens to each on the individual level. Well-written, well-narrated. It was delightful to read of the Catholic social justice in action, and the prayer lives of some of the characters, which were likely to be part of the lives of such people in that place and time, without the scoffing that so often shows up in modern literature when religion comes into play. .

Very Enjoyable historical fiction
