The Helsingør Sewing Club by Ella Gyland

 An empowering true story of community, resilience, and defying those in power to follow your morality and truth and help others through the onslaught of violence and terror. 




Inspired by the incredible true story of how the people of Denmark came to the aid of their Jewish neighbours during WW2

Elsinore, Denmark, 1943

In the midst of the German occupation during World War Two, Inger Bredhal joins the underground resistance and risks her life to save members of Denmark’s Jewish community and help them escape to Sweden.

Copenhagen, 2018

Inger’s granddaughter, Cecilie Lund, is mourning her death when a mysterious discovery while cleaning out Inger’s flat leads past and present to intersect. As long-held secrets finally see the light of day, Cecilie learns the story of her grandmother’s courage and bravery, and of the power of friendship, love, and standing for what’s right…even when you have everything to lose.

An inspiring tale of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community.
