A wartime secret. A journey to uncover the truth.
After an accident leaves Claires aunt Margaret feeling frail, Claire is more concerned for her than ever: Margaret has started getting mixed up between the past and present and keeps asking after someone called Agnes.
When Claire asks her aunt about Agnes, she learns that the two lived together during the war whilst working as WAAFs. They were best friends until Agnes started acting strangely, suddenly becoming secretive and distant. Then one morning, Agnes had gone and never returned home, leaving Margaret distraught.
Keen to reconnect with her aunt, Claire promises to help discover what happened to Agnes. But apart from an old photograph of the two girls, Agnes seems to have disappeared into thin air. With Margarets memory rapidly fading, can Claire uncover Agnes story before its too late
An utterly heart-wrenching and unputdownable novel about love, loss and sacrifice, perfect for fans of Fiona Valpy, Lorna Cook and Kathryn Hughes.
CORIN BURNSIDE grew up in a house full of books and has been scribbling stories for as long as she can remember. A passion for history, travel, and the natural environment colours her writing and provides inspiration for her story-telling.
She divides her time between her family in the UK, and her home in the heart of the French Pyrenees, where she lives with her husband and The Princess, a demanding Hungarian Vizsla who helps with plot holes in exchange for cheese.
