About this audiobook
It's World War II, and Denmark is occupied by German armed forces. Exasperated by the pacifist complacency of daily life under the Government's co-operative agreement with the Germans, Danes are distancing themselves from the official stance. A nation-wide grassroots' revolt is breaking out. By August 1943, insurrection against the German occupation flares into lawlessness and sabotage. In the provincial town of Odense, the Niemann family run a prosperous fashion house and factory that has always traded with Germany. As the insurgency builds, vigilantes hunt down collaborators and 'terrain mattresses': women who befriend Germans. When 17-yearold Maia Niemann`s secret infatuation with a German officer is revealed, there are disastrous ramifications. Overnight, she becomes the target of Danish patriotic zealots, and is forced to flee the town. Maia moves in with her Aunt Mille in Copenhagen, where she hopes to pursue her dreams of becoming a top fashion designer. But her aunt has secrets of her own; not least, her involvement in the resistance movement. Summer in Copenhagen heats up in more ways than one, until Maia is faced with the biggest dilemma of her life. The choices she is forced to make will bring drastic consequences.
