A powerful and heartbreaking novel for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The
Nightingale and Beneath a Scarlet Sky.
Guernsey, 1940. As war storms across Europe, Guernsey remains an oasis of peace – until the day Churchill orders the evacuation of the military personnel who protect it. As the islanders hurry to prepare for the worst, and men rush to enlist, Jack stays to protect his family – and the woman he loves, Johanna. When the Nazis come, everything changes. Bombers sweep across the harbour and Jack, a policeman, must serve the officers or face retribution not only against him, but against his family. To protect those he loves, Jack has to keep in line: their lives depend on his obedience. And then a list of Jews on the island is drawn up, and Jack realises how close everything is to falling. Because Johanna is a Jew, and Jack has to make a choice. If he writes her name on the list he condemns her, but if he resists he condemns his family.
