Synopsis

An uplifting tale of resilience and friendship, perfect for fans of Fiona Valpy and Rachel Hore’s The French Spymistress.

1939: when war breaks out, Sylvia, Frida and Jeanne choose to stay in Port-Saint-Martin, the French town they call home. But when France is occupied, the British women are suddenly the enemy.

Imprisoned in Vittel – a once-lavish spa resort, now an internment camp – the women of the Grand Hotel forge friendships that help them survive, creating a community sustained by courage, kindness and the hope that one day they will be able to return home.

Following the lives of three British women in France through the course of the Second World War, this is a novel about female friendship, strength and resourcefulness, inspired by real characters and events.
