Occupied Norway, 1944: Anni endures the war alone, aiding the resistance while longing for news of her missing sailor husband. Her daughter, Ingrid, is her joy, and she is determined to keep her safe. But when a German official is billeted at their home, danger escalates, forcing Anni into an impossible choice.

London, 1952: Ingrid has been trying to understand her mother's mysterious disappearance at the war's end. Clinging to Anni's promise that she would always come back for her, Ingrid sets out to discover what happened to her mother all those years ago.

The Silent Resistance by Anna Normann is a gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and the enduring strength of family bonds set against the backdrop of war-torn Norway and post-war London.

About the Author

Anna Normann is the pseudonym of authors Anan Singh and Natalie Normann who have been writing together in Norwegian for many years. Anan was born in northern India and had his first short story published in an Indian newspaper at fourteen. Natalie grew up on the west coast of Norway and has always been fascinated with the country's period of occupation. She is a prolific historical romance writer in her native language and more recently published two contemporary Norwegian-set romances in English. The Silent Resistance is their first collaboration in English.
