How far would you go to protect a child... or save the sister who once betrayed you?

In Nazi-occupied Budapest, two estranged sisters are thrust into a world on the brink. Natalie, a celebrated children's author, is calm, rational, and determined to survive. Anna, a once-brilliant poet, is unraveling under the weight of grief and loss. When a little girl is left in their care during the chaos of war, the sisters must confront their past-and make an unthinkable choice.

As bombs fall and persecution tightens, Natalie begins to write magical tales for the child-stories inspired by a mysterious woman known only as Mrs. Tuesday. But reality grows ever more dangerous, and Anna's mental state becomes a risk they can no longer ignore. Natalie must decide: escape while she still can, or stay behind to protect the sister who may destroy them both.

Spanning decades and continents, Mrs. Tuesday's Departure is a deeply moving novel about the ties that bind us, the secrets that haunt us, and the courage it takes to choose love, again and again-even in the face of unspeakable loss.
