Based upon the real life exploits of Mary Jayne Gold, an American Francophile who smuggled Jewish artists across the Pyrenees during World War II so they could get to America. In this telling, Nanée is a risk-taking socialite who has the means and connections to hobnob with the avant garde artists of the day. Including many who are Jewish. Including one with whom she falls in love. So when many of these artists are taken in the middle of the night to “work camps” with no means of communication to the outside world, Nanée takes up with the Emergency Rescue Committee, a secret group that rescues these artists, as the postmistress to deliver the messages that can lead to their freedom. Definitely dark at times, but quite a good read.
