An extraordinary young woman vows revenge on the Nazis after her family are murdered... Ania hears the explosion of gunshots before she sees the Nazi soldiers approach her beloved home. Her family don’t have time to run, but she does. Hiding nearby, she listens to her sister’s screams and – stroking the red ribbon she keeps tied around her wrist – she begins to plot her revenge... Taunted her whole life for being smarter than anyone else in the village, now living in war-torn Poland, being governed by Nazis who think Poles are subhuman and women only good for one thing... Ania now only has her wits to rely on, if she's going to survive. But then she comes across a group of misfits all rejected by the resistance movement for bringing too much risk with them – a scarred Jewish man, a madwoman, a gypsy, and a quiet, handsome Russian soldier. And Ania realizes she alone has the power to unite them. Together, they will destroy each and every one of the people who took everything from her. The Nazis have no idea what – or who – they are up against. And they’re about to discover that no one should cross a woman who has nothing to lose... Inspired by an incredible true story from the author’s own family, comes a absolutely gripping story about courage and sacrifice in the darkest days of war. Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, All the Light We Cannot See, and The Nightingale, by the bestselling author of The Rainbow.
