the echoes of those who have passed, whispering that history is set
to repeat itself. 'If you're a lover of literary fiction then
you'll be right at home with this book. You'll enjoy the intricate
play on words and it will take you back to a time when writing was
an art form' Netgalley reviewer War widow Lucy Peuse is content in
her quiet life as secretary for her uncle and his dashing young
partner, Robert Underhill, at their Cotswold book press. But
rations still rule and paper is the golden egg, and when Robert is
found using the skills he gleaned as a British POW to give the
business a leg up, Lucy is suddenly a player in a dark world where
everyone has an eye on the ledger and will do whatever it takes to
prevent their neighbour's gain. Caught between society's
expectations and her own dreams, Lucy will have to break free of
the ghosts of the past in order to find answers she needs to secure
the future ... for her and Robert both. Mrs P's Book of Secrets
will be published in the US as The Book Ghost.
