Description
A gripping story of three young women faced with impossible choices in wartime Paris. In 1940, three seamstresses - Mireille, Claire, and Vivienne - are hiding secrets as they go about their lives. War-scarred Mireille fights with the Resistance, while Claire has been seduced by a German officer. Vivienne's involvement is something she can't reveal to either of them. Two generations later, Claire's English granddaughter Harriet arrives in Paris, desperate to find a connection with her past. Living and working in the same building, she learns the truth about her grandmother and herself, and unravels a family history that is darker and more painful than she ever imagined. As Harriet delves deeper into her family's secrets, she must confront the choices her grandmother made during wartime, and the consequences that followed.
