Synopsis

An island of secrets. A runaway. And a promise… Praise for Praise for A rebellious daughter 1925. A sister with a secret 1944. A rift over generations “Completely swept me away to another place and time. Dinah is the queen of sumptuous settings, transporting the reader effortlessly from chocolate-box Devonshire to the cabaret clubs of 1920s Paris and war-torn Malta. A marvellous, multi-layered story, populated with characters to really care for”—HAZEL GAYNOR “Dinah Jefferies wields her storytelling magic on the island of Malta . . . It’s engrossing and sensual, full of the heat of the Mediterranean sun”—GILL PAUL “Powerful, passionate and profoundly moving . . . this compelling mix of love and tragedy vibrates with warmth and pain, and captures the intense dislocation of war”—KATE FURNIVALL “Sweeping and sumptuous with a gorgeously described sense of place. A marvellous adventure”—TRACY REES “A wonderfully evocative and sensual writer”—SANTA MONTEFIORE “A warm and engrossing tale of passion and courage. I loved it”—RACHEL HORE “Love, grief, abandonment, betrayal and secrets … I adored it”—LIZ NUGENT

Me encanta la autora y no sabía que este libro formaba parte de una trilogía. Este es el segundo. Como echo en falta que indiquen en alguna parte de los libros si forman parte de una trilogía o saga. La primera parte que no he leído pero de la que se deducen cosas...parece muy interesante. Esta en ca......more
