Nazi-occupied Guernsey is no place for second chances—or forbidden love. But for Émile, Isabelle, and Leutnant Schreiber, the past won’t stay buried.
Émile, left deaf and isolated after an accident, watches his island fall to the enemy. Isabelle, trapped in a loveless marriage, clings to fading hope. And when their paths cross again at the French House, old wounds flare with new intensity.
Meanwhile, Leutnant Schreiber—more artist than soldier—grapples with the brutal demands of war and the dangerous desires it ignites.
As secrets unfurl and loyalties blur, these three lives become entangled in ways that could cost everything.
Lyrical and unflinching, The French House is a devastating portrait of love, courage, and betrayal under occupation.
Sometimes, loving someone means risking everything.
