Description

From an exciting new voice in WWII historical fiction comes a tale of love, loss and a betrayal that echoes through generations
Paris, 1940: War is closing in on the city of love. With his wife forced into hiding, Jacques must stand by and watch as the Nazis take away everything he holds dear. Everything except his last beacon of hope: his beloved bookshop, La Page Cache.

But when a young woman and her child knock on his door one night and beg for refuge, he knows his only option is to risk it all once more to save a life

Modern day: Juliette and her husband have finally made it to France on the romantic getaway of her dreams but as the days pass, all she discovers is quite how far theyve grown apart. Shes craving a new adventure, so when she happens across a tiny, abandoned shop with a for-sale sign in the window, it feels fated.

And shes about to learn that the forgotten bookshop hides a lot more than meets the eye

A heartbreaking tale of love and loss in war, perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Jennifer Chiaverini.
