Synopsis

The glimmering Huguenot cross she so innocently wears leads her deep into the shadows. When Gabriella Madison arrives in the French village of Castelnau in 1961 to continue her university studies, she doesn’t anticipate being drawn into the secretive world behind the Algerian war for independence from France. And the further she delves into the war efforts, the more her faith is challenged. The people who surround her bring a whirlwind of transforming forces — a wise nun who knows more about the war and Gabriella’s past than she’s saying, a lost little girl who is carrying secret information, and a debonair man with unknown loyalties who pursues Gabriella. When she discovers a long-hidden family secret, it leads to questions about trust, faith in action, and the power of forgiveness to move beyond the pain of the past.

3.7🌟 for this book. I think I would have preferred to read a hard copy rather than listen to this book. I listened in small chunks of time and it was hard to keep up with the many different scenarios going on. The plot has a great way of bringing all the characters together with some great twists in......more

Goodreads review by Alice

C'est fantastique! I never knew there was ever a war between France and Algeria, in fact I don't think I could have found Algeria on a map! But this tale of the lives entangled in this war is one not to miss. A young redhead, a handsome American professor, a nun, a little refugee girl, a crazy French......more
