The story is narrated by Cecilie and her grandmother in a dual timeline. In 2018 Copenhagen, Cecilie found some jewelry among her late grandparent belongings and faced with a name, David Nathan. She decided to meet him and find her grandmother, Inger's secret.
In 1943 Helsinger, Denmark, from the point of view of Inger, from her diary. She was part of the Danish resistance and helped Jews for safety reach Sweden.

A beautiful, sad, shaking, and heartbreaking tale, inspired by a true story of the people of Denmark who rescued their Jewish neighbors during WWII.

Lovely narrator who does an incredible job.

Book is good but slow. I got half way through and thought nothing is happening, googled the real story and realised it was super interesting so stuck with it. I personally would have liked more of the story of the "sewing club" than the story of how is came about.

based on a true story of how a village in Denmark rescue Jews during WWII. A village unaffected by the war other than some German soldiers keeping guard there.

The pace of the narration meets the pace of the book which works very well.

Helsingør, Denmark, 1943. The narration has good pace and flow,and the narrators voices seemed right for the characters they were portraying. I listened to this as an audio book and felt the narrators really helped bring the story to life. The narrator narrated the book beautifully, and I loved the depictions of the different characters.
