The Secrets of Provence
Daisy Wood
Provence,1940 Thrown out of occupied Paris by the Nazis, brave, beautiful Mathilde finds refuge with her cousin in Provence, where she’s soon drawn into the Resistance movement.
Secrecy and subterfuge are her constant companions, where passions run high and betrayal is a continual threat. But Mathilde’s greatest pain and greatest joy are wrapped up in the most heartbreaking secret of all
– one she must hide even from her husband. And keep for the rest of her life.
Paris, present day, Juliette’s life should be perfect, with her bookshop established and her relationship feeling settled – but something just isn’t clicking.
Searching for more, an old photograph will lead Juliette to a beautiful, crumbling chateau. And there, she will uncover a story that will change her life forever…
