From Paris to London, the saga is just wonderful
The engaging plot, perfectly offset by a cast of fantastic characters, ensures this novel is the perfect form of escapism
Caroline has created engaging, strong, and convincing characters in a powerful and romantic love story. Battling with tragedy stemming from the horrors of the second world war, together with courage and bravery, it had me gripped from start to finish. The perfect read for a cold winter's evening. I thoroughly enjoyed it
