Description
She has already buried one child. She will not lose another.
Holland, 1940. On a windswept island off the Dutch coast, Elske Van Doujke grieves the daughter she could not save and keeps a secret she has never told anyone. In Amsterdam, her son Casper is building the life his sister always wanted for him.
Then the Nazis come.
Casper joins the Dutch resistance. He forges papers for Jewish families marked for deportation and falls for the one woman he can never have. Elske opens her door to Allied airmen on the run from the Gestapo, risking everything for strangers. Neither knows the other is in danger.
As betrayal spreads through the resistance and the trains roll east, mother and son must each choose between the people they love and the lives they have sworn to save.
Dark is the Night is a heartbreaking WWII family saga of love, secrets and survival in Nazi-occupied Holland. For readers of Kristin Hannah and Michael Reit.
Book One of the Resistance and Remembrance trilogy.
