9 posts | 16 read | 27 to read
Na de dood van haar moeder erft Emilie de la Martinires het familiekasteel aan de zonnige Cte d'Azur. Maar aan het huis kleven ook hoge schulden en onopgeloste geheimen... Welke rol hebben haar voorouders in de Tweede Wereldoorlog gespeeld? Emilie verdiept zich in haar familieverleden en doet een schokkende ontdekking. Een van haar voorouders, de Britse Constance, werkte tijdens de oorlog als spionne in het bezette Frankrijk. Hoe meer Emilie te weten komt over Constance en haar oorlogsgeheimen, hoe beter ze haar eigen familie in een nieuw daglicht kan plaatsen. Het kasteel speelt een cruciale rol in het oplossen van de familieraadsels en staat centraal in deze intrigerende roman vol spanning, passie en mysteries.

I'm a fan of Riley and while this isn't my favourite of hers, it was a charming and atmospheric read. I loved the WW2 storyline and how it weaved its way through to the modern sections. I had a little spontaneous cry at the end which is always a nice surprise with a good book.

Two of my favourite books with windows on the covers, and in the title. Very different books, but did love them both in their own way. #ReadingResolutions #Windows

Another great read by Lucinda Riley, this has a dual timeline in current days and France in the Second World War. #noteworthynovember #light

Melissa_J I‘m not familiar with this one. I‘m going to have to look for it. 7y
Andrew65 @Melissa_J You may know it by it's alternative title The Lavender Garden. Why do they give different titles to books! 7y
Melissa_J Ha! The Lavender Garden is sitting on one of my shelves, so I do know it 😄 7y

Old houses, family secrets, WWII intrigue. Good book. If you like Kate Morton, you will like this.
