She learns about the evil and suffering, but also about the courage and heroism which saved her grandfather's life. The story follows Caroline’s attempts to discover the truth behind her grandfather’s mysterious origins. We follow her to the Shoah Museum in Paris, and to the site of the Drancy camp where thousands of Jews were held before being sent to their deaths in Poland. When she arrives in the south of France she discovers that behind the sunny beaches and relaxed holiday atmosphere there is a dark and unhappy past of suffering, hunger, sickness and death of which most people are unaware. She learns that not only the Jews but Spanish people also suffered here. But all is not gloom. She meets and commences a happy relationship with a local lad who opens her eyes to the hidden history of the region. Together they solve the mystery of her grandfather’s family, and the story ends with a dramatic revelation which no-one could have foreseen! This is a book for teenagers and young adults.
