A standalone novel. Read the Art of Resistance books in any order.
Paris, 1943. Hanna Blum is now Annette Blanc, housekeeper to Suzanne Spaak, an elegant Belgian society hostess who pours wine for German officers in her salon. Behind the performance, the two women run a secret network that hides Jewish children, and plan the impossible: emptying the children's shelters before the police come back with their lists. But a relentless hunter is closing in, and one wrong name could betray them all.
New York, 1998. After her grandmother's death, sculptor Rachel finds a rolled canvas in an old box: a bird made of sky, signed Magritte and inscribed Pour Annette. Her grandmother never spoke of the war. To learn who Annette was, Rachel travels to Brussels, where an old woman holds the other half of the story.
Inspired by the true story of Suzanne Spaak, Righteous Among the Nations, The Bird of Magritte is an unforgettable novel of art, courage, and the silences one generation leaves to the next. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah and Kristin Harmel.
This is a standalone novel in the Art of Resistance series and can be enjoyed independently.
