'It's just brilliant - full of poetry' - Jilly Cooper Set in
wartime London and occupied France, this is a thrilling story of
love, danger and sacrifice from bestselling novelist Alan
Titchmarsh. It is the late 1930s when seventeen-year-old Rosamund
Hanbury leaves behind the endless summers of her coastal Devonshire
home for the fast pace of high society London. Under the expert
guidance of her formidable aunt, the country mouse learns how to
act like a lady, hosting dinner parties and rubbing shoulders with
Britain's most influential. And when the enigmatic Harry Napier
sweeps her off her feet at London's famous Cafe de Paris she could
almost forget that Britain has declared war. But the Phoney War
ends. Harry is posted, London reels from the first bombings of the
Blitz and Rosamund suffers a devastating personal loss that leaves
her all the more determined to do her bit for the war effort.
Joining the Special Forces she is sent to work alongside the
Resistance on a top secret mission in France. It is here that her
courage and loyalty are truly put to the test. And where she learns
that no one is what they seem: at home or abroad . . . READERS ARE
