Más información sobre el libro

In the summer of 1915, the Wittgenstein family experiences both prosperity and unease as war looms. Eldest daughter Beata, a quiet Jewish beauty, falls in love with a young French officer by Lake Geneva, defying her parents' expectations of marrying a Catholic. As they build a life together, Beata's past remains a haunting presence. Years later, as Europe faces the horrors of Hitler's regime, Beata watches in dread as her family is threatened, including her daughter Amadea, who has become a Carmelite nun. The convent offers no safety, and as friends and family disappear, Amadea is forced into hiding. Her journey of survival leads her into the French Resistance, where she embarks on daring missions behind enemy lines. In these dark times, Amadea feels the enduring strength of her mother and grandmother, their voices echoing in her heart. Amidst the chaos, she meets British secret agent Rupert Montgomery, who helps her navigate her place in a legacy that connects her past to her future. As Amadea begins to envision a future of hope, she finds herself rooted in the rich soil of her family's history, forging a path forward against the backdrop of war.
