Prisoners of a Shadow World tells the story of Louis-Philippe who is half French, half English and Madeleine Lévy who is Jewish. They live in France at the time of the German Occupation which casts a terrifying shadow over their world - and the darkest shadow is cast by the Gestapo, the secret police, who threaten both their lives. It is a threat made worse because Jews like Madeleine are being arrested and sent to death camps, and Louis-Philippe is a member of a Resistance network fighting to free France.
