France, 1939 - In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn't believe that the Nazis will invade France … but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne's home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.
Vianne's sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can … completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.
##Re-read it in January 2022. It’s such a wonderful book!

评分##Cliche大乱炖/ Audible
评分##1.5/5 乏善可陈,剧情、人设太好猜几乎每个情节都被猜到。结局果不其然有转折,问题是这个转折也被我猜到了。另外全书充满中产阶级式的谄媚,恨不得把“我有档次”这句话写脸上。最后尽管作者是女性,主角也是女性,但是对女性心理描写像个直男写的。
评分##太多细节描述,且基本平铺直叙,没啥惊喜
