When Rémy disappears and the resistance cell they work for is betrayed, the records they keep in The Book of Lost Names become even more crucial to remembering the truth...
A present day discovery of the book leaves researchers fascinated by its origins and desperate to decipher its codes. Only Eva holds the answer but will she have the strength to face old memories and help reunite those lost during the war?
An intimate and lyrical celebration of great love, great art, and the sacrifices we make for both
For fifty years, Abe and Jane have been coming to Central Park, as starry-eyed young lovers, as frustrated and exhausted parents, as artists watching their careers take flight. They came alone when they needed to get away from each other, and together when they had something important to discuss. The Park has been their witness for half a century of love. Until now.
Jane is dying, and Abe is recounting their life together as a way of keeping them going: the parts they knew—their courtship and early marriage, their blossoming creative lives—and the parts they didn’t always want to know—the determined young student of Abe’s looking for a love story of her own, and their son, Max, who believes his mother chose art over parenthood, and who has avoided love and intimacy at all costs. Told in various points of view, even in conversation with Central Park, these voices weave in and out to paint a portrait as complicated and essential as love itself.
An homage to New York City, to romance, and even to loss, This Is a Love Story tenderly and suspensefully captures deep truths about life and marriage in radiant prose. It is about love that endures despite what life throws at us, or perhaps even because of it.

Jenny Quinn has a secret.
She just won a spot as a contestant on a prime-time TV baking show.
It's only the second time in her marriage that she's kept something
from beloved husband Bernard. And now she's got a chance of being
crowned Britain's best baker.

secret Jenny's been keeping - the one supposed to stay hidden forever -
is in danger of surfacing.
Could Jenny Quinn's rise to fame also be her downfall?
The Secrets of the Lake is a gripping wartime novel, by the author
of The Silk Weaver, Liz Trenow. 'Masterful storytelling, immersive
locations, and characters that inhabit your heart from the first
page' - Gill Paul, author of The Secret Wife. The war may be over,
but for Molly life is still in turmoil. Uprooted from London after
the death of her mother, Molly, her father and younger brother
Jimmy are starting again in a quiet village in the countryside of
Colchester. As summer sets in, the heat is almost as oppressive as
the village gossip. Molly dreams of becoming a journalist, finding
a voice in the world, but most of the time must act as Jimmy's
carer. At just ten years old he is Molly's shadow, following her
around the village as she falls under the spell of local boy Kit.
Kit is clever, funny and a natural-born rebel. Rowing on the waters
of the lake with him becomes Molly's escape from domestic duty. But
there is something Kit is not telling Molly. As the village gossip
starts building up with whispers against Molly's father over
missing church funds, everything Molly thought she knew is turned
upside down. And on one stormy night, when she sneaks out of the
house to try to put things right, Jimmy vanishes. Never to be seen
again. Decades later, Molly is an elderly woman in sheltered
housing, still haunted by the disappearance of her brother. When
two police officers arrive to say that the remains of a body have
been found at the bottom of the lake, it seems like Molly will at
long last have her answer . . .
Soledad Barnes has her life all planned out. Because, of course, she does. She plans everything. She designs everything. She fixes everything. She’s a domestic goddess who's never met a party she couldn't host or a charge she couldn't lead. The one with all the answers and the perfect vinaigrette for that summer salad. But none of her varied talents can save her when catastrophe strikes, and the life she built with the man who was supposed to be her forever, goes poof in a cloud of betrayal and disillusion.
But there is no time to pout or sulk, or even grieve the life she lost. She's too busy keeping a roof over her daughters' heads and food on the table. And in the process of saving them all, Soledad rediscovers herself. From the ashes of a life burned to the ground, something bold and new can rise.
But then an unlikely man enters the picture—the forbidden one, the one she shouldn't want but can't seem to resist. She's lost it all before and refuses to repeat her mistakes. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself?
After all she's lost . . .and found . . .can she be brave enough to make room for what could be?
