Description

Kent, 1939. Eliza is to be married to Nicholas, her companion since she was a child. But when the pair are involved in a car crash, Eliza is rescued by a stranger, Lewis Harper, whose stunning blue eyes she will never forget.

As the war begins, Eliza's world begins to fall apart: her beloved brother Martyn is killed in action, and her once-beloved husband grows increasingly distant. And then, when her efforts to help the Dunkirk evacuees take her to the south coast, she spots a familiar pair of eyes. Torn between passion and duty, Eliza must choose whether to follow her conscience or her heart.

But wartime has plenty of its own dangers, and with spies infiltrating even the country houses of Kent, Eliza must find the courage to serve her country in even the most heart-breaking circumstances. A beautiful story of star-crossed lovers, Map of Stars is another brilliant wartime saga from Catherine Law.

Reviews

Map of Stars is a touching tale of star crossed lovers. Nothing beats old-school war time romance! * New Magazine *
An interesting setting the Kent coastline being insight of the France. The significance of the title is revealed in the storyline and I learnt new details of English resistance plans in case of invasion. This book should appeal to fans of WW2 historical romance. * Rosie Amber Books Blog *
This book has everything you could wish for in a novel. Romance, unrequited love, war, and family ties. It really does grip you and keep you guessing * Pretty Purple Polka Dots Blog *
I like the way that the author has brought her characters to life, particularly Eliza, who I rather liked from the start (...) War time England with all its associated problems is well explained and there is a nice sense of time and place * Jaffa Reads Too *
