Description
Claire Daussois has grown accustomed to hiding strangers in her attic. By the end of 1943, the small room has become a sanctuary for dozens of Allied airmen, soldiers, and refugees, whom she nurses and harbours from the constant threat of discovery by the Gestapo. When a B-17 bomber crash-lands outside her village, Claire's life is forever changed. The pilot, Ted Brice, is found severely wounded and semi-conscious by a young boy, Jean Benoit, just before the Germans begin their search for survivors. Claire's connection to the Resistance makes her the pilot's only hope of survival, and the month that follows will have a profound impact on both their lives.
