In Picardy’s Fields: the WW1 historical fiction romance that introduces the heroines destined to shine in WW2.
France, 1918
Step back to WWI’s turbulent battlegrounds where two extraordinary women rise to the occasion.
Agnès de Saint-Aubin, a Parisian baroness turned trailblazing battlefield surgeon, teams up with American doctor Alan Bell. Amidst the chaos of German control at Château de Dragoncourt war hospital in Picardy, Agnès hides a secret that endangers her loved ones.
Countess Madeleine de Dragoncourt ditches her aristocratic life to launch a perilous mission to rescue her family’s château from enemy captivity. Much to the dislike and admiration of British Major Gerald Hamilton.
But this is just the beginning. 'In Picardy's Fields' sets the stage for 'The Resistance Girl Series.' Their daughters, born of courage and sacrifice, take center stage in WWII Europe. From France to Norway, Holland to Britain, these women rewrite history through their valor.
Meticulously researched and deeply embedded in historical facts, The Resistance Girl Series seamlessly weaves together fiction with historical facts.
While the series is interconnected, each book can be read as a standalone, offering a unique perspective on the incredible feats of these resilient women.
Delve into the world of love, courage, and sacrifice now, and continue the journey that spans generations.

"A masterclass in storytelling."
"An elegant tale of heroism in the face of brutality. Vivid and heart-warming."

About the author
Hannah Byron, born to Anglo-Dutch parents near Paris, embodies a rich blend of European cultures. Now residing in Holland, she pens captivating Historical Fiction, focusing on WW2 Resistance Women.
Formerly an academic, her transition to full-time writing feels like destiny, possibly nudged by Uncle Tom Naylor, whose D-Day heroics ignited her WW2 passion.
In her acclaimed "Resistance Girl Series," protagonists mirror her adventurous spirit, traversing war-torn Europe. "Timeless Spies," her latest venture, explores SOE female agents' daring feats in France and Britain.
Hannah's novels exalt strong women, merging romance with resilience, honoring 20th-century heroines who toiled for liberty and love. These unsung pioneers, from overall-clad workers to fearless pilots, leave a lasting legacy, inspiring future generations.

This book did not match the caliber of for example The Paris Secret by Lester or The Room on Rue Amelie by Harmel or A Fire Sparkling by MacLean all of which I suggest you give them a try if you like reading about the Resistance of WWII.
A Baroness whose dream is to be on the frontline of war as a doctor and a young lady who has broken out of boarding school to join her siblings at Dragoncourt a family home. Her home doesn’t look the same. It has been turned into a hospital . The bravery of both young ladies in wartime is a tribute to all women of war who worked in all capacities. Their bravery will not be forgotten.

It was well written and immersed me immediately into the French country and city life during the war.
