This Time Last Year — Jean Chapman

When Stella hears that a close friend is seriously ill in France, she doesn't hesitate to go and visit, despite rumours of Hitler's impending invasion. Events overtake her and she finds herself stranded in Occupied France, doubly at risk as an English national and as a supporter of the Resistance.

The story of a British girl stranded in Nazi-occupied France, who forms a friendship with another Frenchwoman, both of whom endeavour to save the lives of the men they love, but only one will succeed.
