France: February, 1944. Arianne knew Luc as a child, of course she did. Everyone in Samaroux knows each other. But he's been away, and five years really makes a difference to a boy. A young man. As they fall headily into love their world starts to crumble around them. German forces are closing in, and the village is torn between cooperating to save themselves or putting up resistance and entering unknown danger. How far will Arianne and Luc go to protect what they believe in? And what will they do for love? A gorgeous new edition of this devastating story of resistance, heartbreak and betrayal, for the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two.
