Resistance

This tale of impossible love - told with the same narrative grace and keen eye for human emotion that have distinguished all of Anita Shreve's beloved bestsellers - leads us into a harrowing world where forbidden passions have catastrophic consequences. In a Nazi-occupied Belgian village, Claire Daussois, the wife of a resistance worker, shelters a wounded American bomber pilot in a secret attic hideaway. As she nurses him back to health, Claire is drawn into a passionate love affair that seems strong enough to conquer all - until the brutal realities of war intrude, shattering every idea she ever had about love, trust, and betrayal.
