'Combines historical fact with the fictional narrative, and offers a cast rich
with multidimensional characters. Readers will be riveted' – Publishers Weekly
In June 1940, the Channel Islands becomes the only part of Great Britain to be
occupied by Hitler’s forces. Hedy Bercu, a young Jewish girl from Vienna who
fled to Jersey two years earlier to escape the Anschluss, finds herself once
more entrapped by the Nazis, this time with no escape.
The Girl From the Channel Islands follows her struggle to survive the Occupation
and avoid deportation to the camps. Despite her racial status, Hedy finds work
with the German authorities and embarks on acts of resistance. Most remarkable
of all, she falls in love with a German lieutenant – a relationship on which her
life soon comes to depend.
