The story starts in
Normandy in 1944. Anna is about to begin an adventure and war mission
for the resistance that would change her life forever. Working
undercover and given a new identity to spy and pass on information,
Anna had already been pushed to breaking point by a dreadful loss in
the war. When things are about to take an even more tragic turn.
In the modern day
and sixty years later, Anna is left broken by her extreme experiences
in the war. She had married and had children but found herself
isolated from them and unable to connect. They want to put her in a
home and she feels they are conspiring against her. Reaching out she
befriends a couple of young students and through their help she is
strong enough to go back and revisit her past and face her demons.
A very haunting and
moving story, there is an atmosphere which builds up so strong in the
way this story is told, that surrounds the reader with the sadness
and heartache that the leading character is experiencing. The reader
feels Anna's pain and regret and the heavy burden she has carried
around with her throughout the years and her need for closure.
