After a bitter fight with her parents, young Rosalie Delacour leaves Paris. For twenty years, her sister Claudette has had no word from the runaway—except for rosary beads sent by Rosalie, bearing a Maltese cross, and a note in which she begs for help… In 1944, Claudette sends an desperate request to find the missing sister to her younger daughter Florance, who met her mother again after seven years of separation and alienation. Family secrets, lies, and half-truths tore this family apart… Florance promises to go searching as soon as the war ends in Europe. But does Rosalie want her relatives to find her? The second book in the trilogy that began with the novel “Daughters of War.” First time in Russian!
