The start of World War II looms over three friends who struggle to remain loyal as one of them is threatened with internment by the British government, from the author of the âsweeping, stirringâ (Kristin Harmel, internationally bestselling author of The Room on Rue Amélie) The Light Over London.
In August of 1939, as Britain watches the headlines in fear of another devastating war with Germany, three childhood friends must choose between friendship or country. Erstwhile socialite Nora is determined to find her place in the Home Officeâs Air Raid Precautions Department, matchmaker Hazel tries to mask two closely guarded secrets with irrepressible optimism, and German expat Marie worries that she and her family might face imprisonment in an internment camp if war is declared. When Germany invades Poland and tensions on the home front rise, Marie is labeled an enemy alien, and the three friends find themselves fighting together to keep her free at any cost.
Featuring Julia Kellyâs signature âintricate, tender, and convincingâ (Publishers Weekly)prose, The Whispers of War is a moving and unforgettable tale of the power of friendship and womanhood in the midst of conflict.
