Soon to be a major motion picture. A heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the endurance of women. ‘I always thought it was what I wanted: to be loved and admired. Now I think perhaps I’d like to be known.’ This story is about what it was like to be a woman during World War II, when women’s stories were all-too-often forgotten or overlooked. Vianne and Isabelle are sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals and passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path towards survival, love and freedom in war-torn France. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.
