The narrative chronicles the experiences of six women, including a mother-in-law and her daughters, during the German occupation of their French village. The book provides a vivid depiction of the challenges and atrocities faced by civilians during wartime, highlighting themes of resilience and community amid despair. The opening of the book introduces us to the idyllic village of Morny, located in the Île de France, and contrasts this peaceful landscape with the coming threat of war. The narrator expresses a mix of optimism and dread as she recounts the initial signs of conflict, including the mobilization of troops and the entry of German soldiers into France. We meet the six primary characters—a close-knit family of women—who display courage, camaraderie, and resourcefulness as they navigate the hardships wrought by the invasion. The early chapters evoke a sense of impending turmoil while capturing the familial bonds that sustain them through the uncertainty and fear that war brings.
