The book is a gripping tale of quiet resistance set in Nazi Germany, based on a true story. It follows a working-class couple who, after losing their son in the war, decide to stand against the oppressive regime by distributing postcards with anti-Nazi messages throughout Berlin. Their clandestine operation, though small in scale, becomes a symbol of personal defiance and moral conviction in the face of overwhelming fear and totalitarian control. As their acts of rebellion continue, they must evade the Gestapo's increasing efforts to hunt them down, leading to a tense and poignant exploration of courage, resilience, and the impact of individual actions in a society dominated by tyranny.
