London, 1940, and Hitler's sustained bombing of the city is a terrifying nightly occurrence. Marnie Fern sees only lonely spinsterhood in her future; her one bright spot is her beloved Grandad. But when Grandad is killed, Marnie is shocked to discover he was a "war pianist" who used his nimble fingers and knowledge of Morse code to relay secret messages between the Dutch Resistance in London and their counterparts in Holland. Then Marnie is approached by Willem, a Dutch Resistance member, who asks her to take over her grandfather's work. Soon, she's in Holland with Willem, quickly pulled into the terrifying, secretive world of the Resistance, but she's never felt more alive. Then a mole is discovered in the Resistance cell, and the lives of Marnie, Willem, and the rest of the Resistance members are in grave danger. Robotham brings war-torn 1940s London and Holland to life, vividly portraying a world under siege, the dangers, tragedies, hardships, deprivation, and violence of war, and the contributions of so many, including war pianists like Marnie, that led to ultimately winning the war.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
