About this listen
A heartbreaking story of friendship, sacrifice and the children who must never be forgotten.
Croatia, 1941. When the Nazis invade Yugoslavia, nurse Ilona's world is torn apart. Her Serbian husband Jovan has joined the resistance, her best friend Misa has vanished, and children are disappearing from their homes. Working alongside the brave Diana Budisavljević, Ilona risks everything to rescue thousands of children from concentration camps, but she cannot save the two who matter most to her friend's shattered heart.
Croatia, 1991. Fifty years later, Ilona's granddaughter Nadica has grown up believing she knows her family's history. But when war erupts again and they are forced to flee their homeland, devastating secrets emerge. Nadica discovers her true heritage and why the past refuses to stay buried.
Inspired by the incredible true story, The Children of Zagreb is an unforgettable tale of the bonds that transcend blood, the courage of ordinary people in extraordinary times and the children whose stories must never be forgotten. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale and Kate Quinn's The Huntress.
