As the Second World War engulfs Europe, the two women find themselves trapped in German-occupied Paris, sharing a cramped apartment with the authoritarian Gerard and his extremist views. Drawing upon her artistic talents, Lucie risks her own safety to engage in small acts of defiance against the occupying forces and the collaborationist French regime, where the authorities reward French citizens for denouncing so-called 'traitors' in their community. Faced with the escalating brutality of anti-Jewish measures, and the indifference of so many of her fellow Parisians, Lucie must decide how far she will go to defend the rights of others before it's too late"-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z Paris $z Paris $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562. $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562. 650 0 $a Women artists $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113347. 650 0 $a Australian fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85009635. 651 0 $a France $x History $y German occupation, 1940-1945 $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103546. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social conditions $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562. $y 20th century $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026370. 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026590. 941 $a 2 952 $l RKPA371 $d 20240601011309.0 952 $l SRPA104 $d 20230620012246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=38D6E584989011EDA5FF82C041ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
