The USA Today bestseller ‘A compelling and powerful read’ - Gill Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of The Child on Platform One

‘A powerful and thoughtful novel’ - Louise Fein, author of Daughter of the Reich

‘A gripping tale of wartime sacrifice and innocence lost in the cause of freedom’ - Jina Bacarr, author of Her Lost Love She’s done running. Now she fights.
1942. With the war raging in Europe, Adele Ambeh dreams of a France that is free from the clutches of the Nazis. As the date of her marriage to a ruthless man draws closer, she only has one choice: she must run.

Adele flees to Lyon and seeks refuge at the Sisters of Notre Dame de la Compassion. From the outside this is a simple nunnery, but the sisters are secretly aiding the French Resistance, hiding and supplying the fighters with weapons. Adele quickly finds herself part of the efforts to take down the regime.

As each day fills with a different danger and she begins to fall for another man, Adele’s entire world could come crashing down around her.

She must fight for her family, her country - and her own destiny. Praise for The Girl from Vichy: ‘A beautiful story’ NetGalley Reviewer
