The thrilling story of how nine young women, captured by the Nazis for being part of the Resistance, launched a breathtakingly bold escape & found their way home.
As the Second World War raged across Europe, & the Nazi regime tightened its reign of horror & oppression, nine women, some still in their teens, joined the French & Dutch Resistance. Caught out in heroic acts against the brutal occupiers, they were each tortured & sent east into Greater Germany to a concentration camp, where they formed a powerful friendship. In 1945, as the war turned against Hitler, they were forced on a Death March, facing starvation & almost certain death. Determined to survive, they made a bid for freedom, & so began one of the most breathtaking tales of escape & resilience of the Second World War.
The author is the great-niece of one of the nine, & she interweaves their gripping flight across war-torn Europe with her own detective work, uncovering the heart-stopping escape & survival of these heroes who fought fearlessly against Nazi Germany & lived to tell the tale.
