James K Hawkins: Hearts Beneath The Broken Sky, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A love worth risking everything.
A war determined to destroy it.

Hearts Beneath the Broken Sky is a captivating romance between a French secretary and a British diplomat. It is set against the outbreak of World War II.
In Paris in 1939, Jeanne Adler works at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Raised in the Jewish quarter of Le Marais by a bookish father and a compassionate mother, Jeanne believes in peace, diplomacy, and the power of reason.
Then she meets Oliver Taylor, a British diplomat stationed in Paris, a man haunted by personal loss. What begins as a fateful encounter on the banks of the Seine blossoms into a tender, forbidden bond.
As Europe fractures and danger closes in, their love becomes their only refuge, a fragile lifeline in a city where trust can be deadly, silence is survival, and love itself is an act of defiance.
Early readers praised Hearts Beneath the Broken Sky as "a story that pulls you in from the very first page... Jeanne and Oliver's story feels real and raw, set against the chaos of war-torn Paris."
The first book in a stirring historical trilogy, this novel is perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Anthony Doerr, Kate Quinn, and Martha Hall Kelly.
