Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

France, 1918. The war has torn the world apart, but for two remarkable women, the battlefields of Picardy become the stage for something history never anticipated.Agnès de Saint-Aubin is a baroness with a surgeon's steady hands and nerves of steel. In a world where no woman has earned a place at the frontline, she claims one anyway - tending the wounded in a fragile makeshift hospital until German forces break through the doors. A dangerous secret shadows her every step, and only her American colleague can steady the storm rising around her.Countess Madeleine de Dragoncourt answers to no one's expectations. When occupying forces threaten to swallow her ancestral château whole, she launches a bold plan to reclaim it - part instinct, part audacity, entirely her own. In the process she finds herself entangled with a British officer who unsettles her resolve and awakens something far more perilous than war.Bound by an unlikely friendship and driven by a courage their world never asked of them, Agnès and Madeleine write their own rules in an age that hadn't yet imagined women like them. Long after the guns fall silent, what they built - in defiance, in love, in sacrifice - will pass to the next generation, when their daughters rise to face a darkness of their own.In Picardy's Fields is the standalone prequel to The Resistance Girl Series - an intergenerational saga of extraordinary women across two world wars, perfect for readers of Kristin Hannah, Kate Quinn, and Martha Hall Kelly.
