About
On one terrifying night in France, a mother searches for her daughter-and meets a woman with a story of her own to tell: "A gripping tale." -Sunday Post
After her teenage daughter, Lizzie, disappeared four years ago, Kurtiz Ross's life-and marriage-fell apart. After all this time, it's difficult to be optimistic. But an unexpected sighting has brought Kurtiz to Paris, where she waits anxiously for her ex-husband to arrive with Lizzie in tow-until the city erupts in chaos.
Terrorists have struck a theater, a stadium, and other spots crowded with Friday night revelers. In the midst of the emergency, an older woman reaches out to Kurtiz, keeping her distracted with a story from her own troubled past in postwar Provence. As her heart veers wildly between hope and horror, Kurtiz learns that some things-like the necessity of courage-are the same in any era . . .
"A story to savour, complete with wonderful settings stretching from Paris . . . to the glorious countryside of southern France." -Dinah Jefferies, bestselling author of The Tea Planter's Wife
"A great and compassionate writer." -The Guardian
"Mesmerising, haunting and extraordinarily relevant." -Lovereading
