The Baby in Her Arms
Suzanne Goldring
On a hot and dusty Parisian street, two brave women risk everything for a tiny, dark-haired baby…
Paris, 1942. Hustled along by cold-eyed soldiers, a mother is making a heartbreaking choice. As she is loaded onto a yellow bus, Irene knows that if she keeps her baby daughter with her, she will not survive what lies ahead. Her eyes meet Sadie’s, a total stranger, but whose face is kind.
The bus disappears. Sadie is left holding the baby in her arms, determined to give this little girl a chance at life. But she lives and works at The Blue House, surrounded by German officers. A dangerous place to hide a Jewish child…
Paris, 2024. On her eightieth birthday, searching for answers, Ellen travels from London to Paris. She arrives at the tall building she last saw as a little girl, determined to discover the story of the women who sacrificed everything so that she could live. But a dusty little book written by the woman who found her as a baby shatters everything she knew about who she was. Are some wartime secrets best left buried?
A completely haunting and heart-breaking read about the bravest of all mothers and the terrible sacrifices made as the streets of Paris crawled with enemy soldiers. Fans of The Nightingale, The Midwife of Auschwitz and The Alice Network will be swept away by The Baby in her Arms.
