A heart-wrenching and unforgettable story of courage, friendship and resistance, based on the incredible true story of ballroom dancer Florence Waren (1917 - 2012), perfect for fans of The Paris Library. In 1938, Sadie Rigal leaves South Africa with dreams of becoming a ballerina. But when war breaks out, Paris is no longer safe for dancers of Jewish heritage. Assuming a new identity as Florence Waren, Sadie captivates audiences across occupied Europe, concealing a covert mission supporting the Resistance. Fast forward to 2012, where Miriam's quest to settle her great-aunt Esther's affairs in New York unveils a heart-wrenching secret narrative. As grief intertwines with curiosity, Miriam unravels Esther's hidden past, discovering a world where passion, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit of resistance converge. All the while, Miriam struggles to confront her own traumatic past.
