***THE UNFORGETTABLE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*** ‘Secrets, lies, treachery, and passion… I read this novel in a headlong rush’ Christina Barker Kline, number one bestselling author of Orphan Train

‘Jenoff’s prose is evocative and compelling’ The Globe and Mail

Sixteen-year-old Noa has been cast out in disgrace after becoming pregnant by a Nazi soldier and being forced to give up her baby.

She lives above a small rail station, which she cleans in order to earn her keep… When Noa discovers a boxcar containing dozens of Jewish infants bound for a concentration camp, she is reminded of the child that was taken from her.

In a moment that will change the course of her life, Noa snatches a baby and flees into the snowy night. And so begins this remarkable, harrowing story of friendship, sacrifice and survival in World War II from the international bestselling author, Pam Jenoff.
