Inspired by true events, this is a riveting story of a young Jewish woman trapped on the occupied island of Jersey during World War II. Hedy Bercu fled Vienna two years ago. Now she watches the skies over Jersey for German planes, convinced that an invasion is imminent. When it finally comes, there is no counterattack from Allied forces—the Channel Islands are simply not worth defending. Soon, her survival will depend not just on her own courage but on the community she has come to cherish.

Tune in for #MomentswithMarianne show with special guest Jenny Lecout as we discuss her new #novel The Girl from the Channel Islands.

Jenny Lecoat was born in Jersey, Channel Islands, where her parents were raised under German Occupation and were involved in resistance activity. Lecoat moved to England at 18, where, after earning a drama degree, she spent a decade on the alternative comedy circuit as a feminist stand-up. She also wrote for newspapers and women's magazines (Cosmopolitan, Observer), worked as a TV and radio presenter, before focusing on screenwriting from sitcom to sketch shows. www.JennyLecoat.com
