Smaragdové srdce (2026)

Paris, 1944. In a room at the Ritz hotel above the streets of occupied Paris, desperate Camille holds her two small daughters in her arms. A German officer is about to take her four-year-old twins from the Lebensborn programme to Germany, but her family friend Coco Chanel offers him a gold ring set with a precious emerald. In exchange for the valuable jewel, the SS officer agrees to take only one child. In the south of France in the present day, Fleur arrives at a beautiful villa on the Mediterranean coast, devastated by the death of her beloved grandmother Nina. She had no idea that her closest person and only relative owned such a house, and this is far from the only secret her grandmother kept from her. Among the inherited documents, Fleur finds one firm clue: an emerald ring, a replica of which Nina wore all her life. Fleur must ask whether her grandmother had a serious reason for remaining silent about the past, and what role the famous Coco Chanel played in the story, since the precious ring originally belonged to her. This moving novel of family secrets, fateful love and dramatic twists leads from wartime Paris to the sunlit coast of contemporary southern France, following a journey towards a fulfilled life and reunion despite the dramatic events of the 20th century.
