Ross made a DCF

A gripping novel of courage and resilience in World War I Belgium.
After failing at a prestigious music Académie, nineteen-year-old Marie-Thérèse finds success at a Brussels nursing school. But in August 1914, German armies invade Belgium, upending everything. As resentment fuels, citizens direct anger at those of German descent, including Marie-Thérèse's family.

At the clinic, a new director orders students to spy. The matron, based on Edith Cavell, makes a fateful decision, as does Marie-Thérèse. Both have far-reaching consequences. In the Fall They Leave is a wartime story of moral courage, resilience, and endurance. For readers of historical fiction, WWI stories, and strong female characters.
