About this listen

Inspired by a true story from the author’s own family, comes a heartbreaking WW2 story, perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, All the Light We Cannot See, and The Nightingale.

1939, Poland: The teenage girl hears the gunshots before she sees the Nazis approach her home. Ania’s family don’t have time to run, but she does. Hiding nearby, she listens to her sister’s screams, as she strokes the red ribbon she keeps tied around her wrist and begins to plot her revenge…

When she comes across a group of misfits all rejected by the resistance, Ania realizes she alone has the power to unite them. Together, these outcasts will help her destroy each and every one of the people who took everything from her. Starting with a near-impossible plan to liberate prisoners from the notoriously brutal Lublin concentration camp…

The Nazis have no idea what – or who – they are up against. And they’re about to discover that nobody should cross a woman who has nothing to lose.

A BRAND NEW, absolutely gripping story, about courage and sacrifice in the darkest days of war. by the bestselling author of The Rainbow and The Watchmaker of Dachau.

A stunningly, different WW2 story told from the POV of a girl defined her whole life for being different. Emotional and raw, the brilliant portrayal of Ania will stay with me for a long time.' Helen Parusel, author

Never have I read a story told in such a poignant manner about a young woman who finds the courage to stand up to the Nazis at whatever the cost. Absorbing, beautifully-drawn cast of characters, an exquisite gift to the reader that wraps around your heart and ties it up with a red ribbon.’ Jina Bacarr, author

A powerful and moving story with a strong and unique heroine… I was both intrigued and touched by Ania’s journey. Highly recommended.’ Kate Hewitt, author

What a beautiful story, I adored the main characters with all their quirks and foibles. Incredible that even in desperate times people could be shunned for being different rather than United for a common cause. The story was very well narrated and I was hooked. Thank you for a fabulous book!

I loved this, completely engaging historical fiction
