    "description": "Paris, 1940: He pressed the tattered book into her hands. \u2018You must go to the caf\u00e9 and ask at the counter for Pierre Duras. Tell him that I sent you. Tell him you\u2019re there to save the people of France.\u2019\n\nSliding the coded message in between the crisp pages of the hardback novel, bookstore owner Laurence slips out into the cold night to meet her resistance contact, pulling her woollen beret down further over her face. The silence of the night is suddenly shattered by an Allied plane rushing overhead, its tail aflame, heading down towards the forest. Her every nerve stands on end. She must try to rescue the pilot.\n\nBut straying from her mission isn\u2019t part of the plan, and if she is discovered it won\u2019t only be her life at risk\u2026\n\nAmerica, years later: when Jeanne uncovers a dusty old box in her father\u2019s garage, her world as she knows it is turned upside down. She has inherited a bookstore in a tiny French village just outside of Paris from a mysterious woman named Laurence.\n\nTravelling to France to search for answers about the woman her father has kept a secret for years, Jeanne finds the store tucked away in a corner of the cobbled main square. Boarded up, it is in complete disrepair. Inside, she finds a tiny silver pendant hidden beneath the blackened, scorched floorboards.\n\nAs Jeanne pieces together Laurence\u2019s incredible story, she discovers a woman whose bravery knew no bounds. But will the truth about who Laurence really is shatter Jeanne\u2019s heart, or change her future?\n\nInspired by true events, an epic and emotional novel about one woman\u2019s strength to survive in the most difficult circumstances and the power of love in the face of darkness. Fans of The Alice Network, The Nightingale and The Lost Girls of Paris will be completely gripped from the very first page.",
