Description

A timeless story of love and sacrifice, perfect for fans of Rachel Hore, Tracy Rees and Kate Morton.

'I was so absorbed that I read it in a single day'

KATE RIORDAN, author of The Girl in the Photograph

‘A gripping tale of secrets and love… I loved it’

LIZ FENWICK, author of The Cornish House


1943: The world is at war, and the villagers of Tyneham are being asked to make one more sacrifice: to give their homes over to the British army. But on the eve of their departure, a terrible act will cause three of them to disappear forever.

2018: Melissa had hoped a break on the coast of Dorset would rekindle her stagnant relationship, but despite the idyllic scenery, it’s pushing her and Liam to the brink. When Melissa discovers a strange photograph of a woman who once lived in the forgotten local village of Tyneham, she becomes determined to find out more about her story.

But Tyneham hides a terrible secret, and Melissa’s search for the truth will change her life in ways she never imagined possible. ‘

A coastal village abandoned in wartime, a haunting expression in an old photograph, and a charismatic TV historian: from these raw ingredients Lorna Cook creates an intriguing mystery that will keep you wanting to read more.’

GILL PAUL
