Papa always told us that to be brave doesn''t mean you have no fear.
It just means you can move forwards in spite of that fear.

2019. When Imogen Wren''s husband dies, she must realise their dream of moving to France on her own. She finds a beautiful abandoned chateau and starts to rebuild her life among its ruins. But she soon notices that the locals won''t come near. A dark web of secrets surrounds the house, and it all seems to centre on the war...

1944. Since the moment German troops stepped foot in her village, the sole aim of Simone Varon''s life has been to avoid them. Until one soldier begins leaving medicine bottles for her sick brother, and she gets to know the man behind the uniform. Then the Resistance comes calling, and she must choose between love and duty – with devastating consequences that will echo through the decades.

As Imogen restores the chateau, she''s determined to uncover the truth – and set to rest the ghosts of the past.

A beautiful and devastating dual timeline novel that spans from occupied France in World War Two, to the war-ravaged chateau in 2019. Perfect for fans of Gill Paul, Lucinda Riley and Lorna Cook.
