About this listen
Brzeziny, Poland, 1939. Zofia's comfortable lifestyle overturns when her husband, Jabez, who monitors Nazi activity, has gone missing. Rather than fleeing the country with her young son, as she had promised Jabez who is fearing retaliation, she decides to stay. She cannot possibly leave her friend, Aanya. Since their childhood they have amazed fellow Brzeziners that it does not matter that Aanya is Jewish and deaf, and that Zofia is Catholic and hearing. Now, more than ever with war looming, Zofia will do whatever is necessary to protect her family and Aanya.
As both love and war approach their Polish town, Zofia and Aanya must make choices that will change the meaning of family, home, and their precious friendship. The journey, decisions, and the no-going-back consequences the women face will either help them to survive—or not—as Hitler's Third Reich revs up its control of the world.
Inspired by the author's paternal heritage from Brzeziny, this is a heartbreaking yet beautiful story of two women who are determined to remain united in friendship and to live freely despite the odds.

Beautifully written and narrated
I enjoy listening to audiobooks from this period and this one definitely didn’t disappoint. The story was told from a very different perspective from those I’ve read before, I thought the writers ability to weave in sign language was really clever and the narration was beautifully done.

Tragic but not for me
Feel a bit guilty criticising this as it is such an important and tragic part of history. The narration was for me a bit too sweet. Very long but seemed to focus on the minutiae and rush through earth shattering events
