With his wife forced into hiding, Jacques must stand by and watch as the Nazis take away everything he holds dear. Everything except his last beacon of hope: his beloved bookshop, La Page Cachee. But when a young woman and her child knock on his door one night and beg for refuge, he knows his only option is to risk it all once more to save a life. . . Modern day: Juliette and her husband have finally made it to France on the romantic getaway of her dreams - but as the days pass, all she discovers is quite how far they' ve grown apart.
