Description

He leaned forward so his voice was no more than a breath. "This war will not be won by keeping your head down. We must act. Quickly, quietly. There are those already at work, doing things you cannot even imagine. You must do your duty, Sophia." Greece, 1942. With the Nazi invasion of her beloved country, life is fraught for a twenty-year old Sophia as she struggles to keep her father and young sister safe. For months, Sophia has been playing an increasingly dangerous role in the resistance, trying to help end the war. But when she is given her most risky task yet-one that could play a crucial role in ending the war in Greece but could also harm those she holds dearest if she is caught-Sophia is faced with a devastating choice. Two generations later, Ava, Sophia's granddaughter, arrives in Greece, heartbroken and adrift. But as she pulls up to the tiny village nestled on a cliff above the glittering Ionian Sea, and steps out in front of a tumbledown house that once belonged to Sophia, everything changes for her. As pieces of her grandmother's story to emerge, Ava can't help but be drawn to Sophia's hidden past... What she doesn't know is that the truth has the power to change her life forever. An utterly unforgettable story of two remarkable women who find the strength to persevere against all odds, finding hope, courage and light in the darkness. Perfect for fans of The Nightingale, The Lilac Girls and Victoria Hislop's The Island. Previously published as The Other Side of the Bridge by Katharine Swartz.
