"TWO UNLIKELY RESISTORS. ONE CITY OF SECRETS. 1664: Alouette is a laundress working for the Gobelin family in their famous tapestry mill, where her father is a master dyer who has spent his career seeking the formula for a spectarcular red dye. Just when he is on the cusp of success, he is accused of a terrible crime and executed. In her grief, Alouette lashes out against the authorities and is sent to the infamous Salpietriere asylum for the insane. In this dark place, she learns the secrets of making medicines from plants and discovers the network of tunnels and caverns that provide a possible means of escape for her and a small group of brave women who become her allies. 1939: Kristof is a Dutch medical student embarking on his psychiatric residency in Paris, just as the Germans are preparing to invade France. At his tiny apartment on the Rue de Gobelins, he befriends his new neighbors, a Jewish family who escaped Poland before it fell to the Nazis. Using his intimate knowledge of the ancient Paris tunnels, he hatches a plan to get them out of Paris even as the German army is seizing control of the city. In this spellbinding novel, Paula McLain shows us a side of Paris known to very few -- the underground city that is a mirror reflection of the glories of the famous city above. As Alouette and Kristof each struggle to overcome the powerful forces arrayed against them, they find the light they need in the darkest of places"-- |
