"París, 1940. Con la ciudad ocupada por los nazis, tres jóvenes costureras tratan de salir adelante lo mejor que pueden. Sin embargo, las tres ocultan secretos. Mireille lucha con la Resistencia; a Claire la ha seducido un oficial alemán; y Vivienne ni siquiera puede compartir con sus amigas lo que hace, porque eso la condenaría. Dos generaciones después, la nieta inglesa de Claire, Harriet, llega a París. Desarraigada y a la deriva, desesperada por encontrar información sobre su pasado, se establece en el mismo edificio de la rue Cardinale, donde también trabaja, y descubre la verdad sobre su abuela, y sobre sí misma, lo que la llevará a desentrañar una historia familiar más oscura y dolorosa de lo que podía imaginar. En tiempos de guerra, ¿podrán sobrevivir sin acabar destrozadas?" --Amazon. |

"Paris, 1940. With the city occupied by the Nazis, three young seamstresses go about their normal lives as best they can. But all three are hiding secrets. War-scarred Mireille is fighting with the Resistance; Claire has been seduced by a German officer; and Vivienne's involvement is something she can't reveal to either of them. Two generations later, Claire's English granddaughter Harriet arrives in Paris, rootless and adrift, desperate to find a connection with her past. Living and working in the same building on the Rue Cardinale, she learns the truth about her grandmother - and herself - and unravels a family history that is darker and more painful than she ever imagined. In wartime, the three seamstresses face impossible choices when their secret activities put them in grave danger. Brought together by loyalty, threatened by betrayal, can they survive history's darkest era without being torn apart?" --author's website. |
