From the cover:
In Resistance, Anita Shreve uses a wartime setting to sharpen the themes she has explored in previous novels - and leads us into a harrowing world where forbidden passions have catastrophic consequences. In a Nazi-occupied Belgian village, Claire Daussois, the wife of a resistance worker, shelters a wounded American bomber pilot in a secret attic hideaway. As she nurses him back to health, Claire falls in love and is soon locked in a passionate affair that seems strong enough to conquer all - until the brute realities of war intrude, shattering every idea she ever had about love, trust, and betrayal.
Resistance is a powerful exploration of emotion at odds with commitment. No reader who has loved - or resisted love - will forget this lucid and moving tale.
