The Girl From Guernica
Trade cloth edition in very good condition. Dust jacket with intact price point. Mylar cover included.
Inspired by Picasso’s great masterpiece, Guernica, Karen Robards presents a riveting story of intrigue, deception, and bravery in the face of war.
On an April day in 1937, the sky opens and the fire rains down upon the small Spanish town of Guernica. Seventeen-year-old Sibi and her family are caught in the horror. Griff, an American military attaché, pulls Sibe from the wreckage, and it’s only the first time he saves her life in a span of hours. When Germany claims no involvement in the attack, insisting the Spanish Republic was responsible, Griff guides Sibi to lie to Nazi officials. If she or her sisters reveal that they saw planes bearing swastikas, the Gestapo will silence them—by any means necessary.
As war begins to rage across Europe, Sibi joins the underground resistance, secretly exchanging information with Griff. But as the scope of Germany’s ambitions become clear, maintaining the facade of a Nazi-sympathizer becomes ever more difficult, and as Sibi is drawn deeper into a web of secrets, she must find a way to outwit an enemy that threatens to decimate her family once and for all.
Masterfully rendered and vividly capaturing one of the most notorious episides in history, The Girl from Guernica is an unforgettable testament to the bonds of family and the courage of women in wartime.
