The soldier looks her dead in the eye, his weapon raised. 'You must leave now,' he warns. But this is her last chance to save her husband, and she won’t be silenced...1943. Fleeing Germany had been Edith Falkenstein and her Jewish husband Julius’s last hope, selling their remaining precious possessions to make the gruelling journey.

It is a world away from the heady glamour of their lives before.Edith’s worst fears come true when Julius is brutally arrested and imprisoned alongside thousands of other Jewish men, destined for the camps. When she hears the news, Edith feels her heart crack wide open with unbearable grief.But then she hears of women gathering outside the prison in their hundreds-wives and mothers from every walk of life whose relatives have also been taken. They are united by a single, desperate wish. She links arms with the woman next to her and takes up the chant.Standing among these brave women offers Edith a flicker of hope. But can they really save their loved ones? And as Edith faces the lines of German soldiers with cold savagery in their eyes, will she pay the ultimate price for this small act of courage?An absolutely unputdownable, heartbreaking and hopeful story of love and courage.
