The coffin of Milos Fabien, leader of the Dante group of the French Resistance during the Second World War, lies in a Prague church in 1989. Saying his farewells is Andrew Marshall. His mother was Pascale, an agent of the Dante group, who died in mysterious circumstances during the war. Outside, the Velvet Revolution that is breaking Czechoslovakia's bonds from the Soviet Union is in full swing. It is a time of national celebration. But for Andrew Marshall it is a time for answers.
A 90,000 word novel that spans three important periods of history in 1943, 1968 and 1989.
The story of three women Resistance fighters - Pascale, who travels to France to try to save her grandparents escape Vichy France and stays to fight the Nazis; Alix, who leaves her rich but boring American lifestyle to join the SOE in war-torn London and parachutes behind enemy lines, and Danielle, widow of a French farmer. All young and vibrant and bonded by honour and belief in a common cause that cost them their lives.
The story of cold-war skulduggery in 1968 as the student riots in Paris bring France almost to civil war and the children of the Dante women to Vienna to meet Milos Fabien for the first time to find out about the deaths of their mothers.
And the finale in Prague in 1989, as a new dawn breaks over Eastern Europe, and all the secrets are finally revealed to Andrew Marshall leaving him with an ultimate dilemma.
The award winning author has been published in the UK, US and around the world and been translated into eight languages.
