Synopsis

THE HIDDEN YEARS, the captivating new novel from million-copy bestselling author Rachel Hore, is out now.

Loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair, One Moonlit Night tells the captivating story of a husband and wife separated by secrets as well as by war.

'Brimming over with everything I love about this author's writing: atmosphere, intrigue, wonderful characters and a beautiful love story. Pure delight to read' Tracy Rees

‘So complex and moving, with a sense of mystery as powerful as the sense of love and betrayal’ Cathy Kelly

‘Beautifully rich in period detail – an absorbing and touching story’ Erica James, Sunday Times bestselling author of Mothers & Daughters

Accept it, he is dead.
No, it’s not true.
It is. Everyone thinks so except you.

Forced to leave their family home in London after it is bombed, Maddie and her two young daughters take refuge at Knyghton, the beautiful country house in Norfolk where Maddie’s husband Philip spent the summers of his childhood.

But Philip is gone, believed to have been killed in action in northern France. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Maddie refuses to give up hope that she and Philip will some day be reunited.
 
Arriving at Knyghton, Maddie feels closer to her missing husband, but she soon realises that there’s a reason Philip has never spoken to her about his past. Something happened at Knyghton one summer years before. Something that involved Philip, his cousin Lyle and a mysterious young woman named Flora.
 
Maddie’s curiosity turns to desperation as she tries to discover the truth, but no one will speak about what happened all those years ago, and no one will reassure her that Philip will ever return to Knyghton.

The extraordinarily powerful new novel from bestselling author Rachel Hore.

As usual I enjoyed this book but did not think it was her best book. At times I found it a bit slow and wanted the story to move on. However there were lots of twists and turns right up to the end of the novel.......more

Goodreads review by Sherrie

A little on the slow side but quite enjoyable, Maddie takes her daughters to live in her husband's ancestral home in Norfolk when he is declared missing in action during World War 2. Ending felt rushed and slightly disappointing and I really wanted her to end up with the cousin.......more
