Description
Love shows us who we want to be.
War shows us who we are.
The international bestseller, now in Polish!
Two sisters, Isabelle and Vianne, are divided by everything: age, the circumstances in which they grew up, and experience. When the German army marches into France in 1940, each of them sets out on her own dangerous path towards survival, love and freedom.
Rebellious Isabelle joins the Resistance, heedless of the mortal danger she brings upon the whole family. Left behind by her husband, who has been called up, Vianne is forced to take the enemy into her home. Over time, the price of saving her own life and her children's becomes dramatically high…
Inspired by the life of Resistance heroine Andrée de Jongh, this story of women's strength, courage and determination has captivated millions of readers around the world.
This book has everything I love: France, history on a grand scale and a love that cannot be controlled. The perfect read for a day off, a solitary evening or a sleepless night.

What I liked most was the portrayal of the complicated relationship between two sisters. Are we heroes or cowards? Are we loyal to the people we love most, or are we capable of betraying them?
