Set in Paris across two eras, Skylark weaves together parallel stories of courage and resistance. In 1664, Alouette’s quest to free her unjustly imprisoned father lands her inside the notorious Salpêtrière asylum, where she finds unlikely allies and discovers her own strength. In 1939, medical student Kristof Larson risks everything to shelter a Jewish family from his building as Nazi forces descend on the city. Inspired by the real network of tunnels beneath Paris, the novel traces two parallel journeys of defiance and rescue that connect in surprising and deeply moving ways.
