An epic, deeply moving wartime novel focusing on a woman determined to find out who she truly is
Georgia Driffield is passionate, willful, resourceful, and intelligent, but often foolhardy, as she grows from girl to woman in the years between the two wars. It is not until she discovers
the extraordinary life of her great- great-grandmother, Chantal, that she finds a way which will reconcile her to her adoption, reunite her with her adoptive parents, and, unexpectedly,
discover the true meaning of love. During these highly eventful years, Georgia becomes inextricably involved not only in the rising horrors of Nazi Germany, and the possible death of her best
friend fighting in the Spanish Civil War, but also finds herself in terrible danger.
