Sisters of Night and Fog by Erika Robuck
1940. In a world newly burning with war, andin spite of her American family’s wishes, Virginia d’Albert-Lake decides to stay in occupied France with her French husband. She’s sure that if they keep their heads down, they’ll survive. But is surviving enough?
Nineteen-year-old Violette Szabo has seen the Nazis’ evil up close and is desperate to fight them. But when she meets the man who’ll change her life only for tragedy to strike, Violette’s adrift. Until she enters the radar of Britain’s secret war organization—the Special Operations Executive—and a new fire is lit in her as she decides just how much she’s willing to risk to enlist.
As Virginia and Violette navigate resistance, their clandestine deeds come to a staggering halt when they are brought together at Ravensbrück concentration camp.
The decisions they make will change their lives, and the world, forever.
★ “Robuck delivers an enticing tale of two women who risk it all to help the French Resistance…. Robuck lures the reader into the mud and the muck alongside the protagonists as they face the dangers and destruction wrought by the conflict.” —Publishers Weekly
★ “Violette and Virginia are two women whose stories needed to be told, particularly now that most of the people who fought in WWII are gone.” —BookPage
★ “Erika Robuck has once again proved her mastery of biographical fiction, respecting the historical record as she weaves together the true stories of two endlessly courageous women whose daring and sacrifice helped defeat the Nazis. Utterly compelling, beautifully written, and meticulously researched, Sisters of Night and Fog is a book you sink into, one that becomes your world as you read it. I loved this book madly.” —Tasha Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of The Dark Heart of Florence
