NEW YORK -- Elena Vasquez released her debut novel "Whispers in the Wind" on Tuesday through HarperCollins Publishers. The book, set in occupied France, follows a young woman's efforts to smuggle messages for the French Resistance. Vasquez, a former journalist, spent five years researching the story using her grandmother's wartime diaries.

|
The 320-page novel arrives amid growing interest in WWII narratives, with similar titles dominating recent bestseller lists. Vasquez conducted interviews with survivors and visited sites in Normandy for authenticity.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"This isn't just history—it's the voices of people who risked everything for a chance at tomorrow," said Vasquez, 42, of Brooklyn. "My grandmother's notes showed me how ordinary lives became extraordinary under pressure."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The book is available in hardcover ($28), e-book ($14.99) and audiobook formats through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble and independent bookstores. Vasquez will appear at the Brooklyn Book Festival on Oct. 20.
