Description

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society meets Lucinda Riley in this breath-taking story of how one woman's disappearance triggers the search of a lifetime. One Parisian night, a woman vanishes without a trace, leaving behind the man she loves. Sixty years later, the search begins... In 1942, French chef Sylvie is sent to Paris to spy on the enemy, while German soldier Christoph has sold himself to save his sister. When they meet the world stops turning. But in a city consumed by war, love is a dangerous affair, and the star-crossed lovers will pay the ultimate price... Sixty years later, with Christoph's health declining and his memory fading, his young protege, Julia, sets out to discover what happened to the woman he never stopped loving. Can they find the woman who disappeared, or will it be too late
