Descriere
'A brilliantly moving historical novel' - 2020 Caledonian Novel Award panel When Émile Quenneville loses his hearing in a tragic accident, he also loses Isabelle, the woman he loves. Thirty years later, Émile and Isabelle, unhappily married to other people, are reunited in the wake of the Nazi invasion of Guernsey. With the occupation come dangerous and difficult choices that endanger them, their families and the fragile, rekindled love that has grown between them. Taking place in the shadow of Victor Hugo's former residence on the island, Hauteville House, this moving, lyrical novel features a protagonist with profound hearing loss who embodies one of the principal themes of the book: wanting to hear and learning to listen, both to one's own heart, and to those of others. Perfect for lovers of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, All the Light We Cannot See and Dear Mrs Bird.
