Paris, June 1940. The enemy has entered the city and Matilde Pascale hopes to sink into the shadows for the entirety of the war. However, when tragedy strikes it changes everything and Matilde focuses on revenge in order to fight back against the Nazis and their heinous crimes against humanity. But life sometimes takes a bizarre twist and it seems that love has a way of infiltrating the most impenetrable of boundaries. A common purpose drives two enemies into each other’s arms and together they discover the capacity of their combined strength.
"... this will become a much cherished book."
“This is a stunning and powerful story – one of those books that you’ll never forget. I was so wrapped up in it that when I’d finished reading, I felt lost.”
"Five stars without a doubt."
“This was a book I couldn’t put down. It works well on so many levels. The slow seeds of resistance in Operation Breeze grow stronger and stronger and we are presented with conflict and knife-edge moments a-plenty.”
“The courage of ordinary people is powerfully portrayed in this story. There are also some twists which I didn’t see coming […] Angela Barton is a very creative lady and I liked the way her painterly descriptions fitted one of the main themes of the story: art theft.”
