Book Description
'I absolutely loved this powerful and sweeping story. I was completely immersed in the lives of these characters, with them at every heart-pounding moment, and felt the tears running down my cheeks at the end' Reader review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ In Nazi-occupied Guernsey, the wrong decision can destroy a life... Left profoundly deaf after an accident, Émile is no stranger to isolation - or heartbreak. Now, as Nazi planes loom over Guernsey, he senses life is about to change forever. Trapped in a tense, fearful marriage, Isabelle doesn't know what has become of Émile and the future she hoped for. But when she glimpses him from the window of the French House, their lives collide once more. Leutnant Schreiber is more comfortable wielding a paintbrush than a pistol. But he has little choice in the role he is forced to play in the occupying forces - or in his own forbidden desires. As their paths entwine, loyalties are blurred and dangerous secrets forged. But on an island under occupation, courage can have deadly consequences... Lyrical, moving and compelling, this is a novel about the price we pay for love and the courage of individuals in the face of war. Perfect for fans The Nightingale, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and All the Light We Cannot See. Everyone is falling in love with The French House: 'I cannot put into words how good this book is... A gripping and emotive storyline and well-developed characters that all brought something different to the page and that I have taken to my heart. I loved it' Reader review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'A raw and honest love story, filled with a wealth of historical detail. The French House is a powerful depiction of the brutal intricacies of island relationships and loyalties in a time of war' Fiona Valpy 'Deeply involving . . . A fantastic debut by a gifted storyteller' Jill Mansell 'Quite simply wonderful. From the moment I started reading I knew I was unwrapping a big story. The writing is so gorgeous, so evocative and so wonderfully paced' Reader review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'An absolutely stunning, beautifully original novel' Jenny Ashcroft 'A beautifully wrought exploration of love of all kinds. It's utterly gorgeous, convincingly written and completely captivating. Make sure you read it' My Weekly 'A very moving read... The underlying love story is moving as is the loyalty and bravery of the people. A brilliant read that I can highly recommend 5* doesn't seem enough' Reader review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'A story of fraught secrets and tested loyalties . . . I found this beautifully told tale hard to put down' Anita Frank 'Heart-wrenching . . . A truly special novel' Louise Fein 'A fabulous, emotional love story set against the backdrop of the German Occupation of Guernsey during World War Two... I absolutely loved it!'

The Cat Sanctuary
Author: Patrick Gale
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504037642
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
Bestselling British author Patrick Gale casts an empathetic and ferocious eye on the domestic wounds inflicted by families and lovers in this dark comedy. One minute Deborah Curtis’s husband, Julian, is alive, a handsome figure leaving their rented house in an African principality, kissing his wife goodbye in the early morning sunshine. The next moment he’s dead, the ground shaking in the aftermath of a deafening explosion. Months later, Deborah is still recovering from the assassination of her spouse and the collateral damage to her own body and soul. Bestselling author Judith Lamb is living with her partner of eight years in an isolated farmhouse on the Cornish moors, struggling with her latest novel. Her American lover, the tall, statuesque Joanna Verdura, is currently on assignment in Seneca. After reading about a diplomat killed by a car bomb meant for someone else, Joanna feels a strong compulsion to visit the dead man’s widow. After all, Deborah is Judith’s younger sister. Although she has been estranged from Judith for years, Deborah doesn’t resist when Joanna whisks her off to Cornwall to grieve in peace, far from the political spotlight. But Joanna has unleashed a demon: the sisters’ buried past. As old unresolved wounds bleed into the present, a history of abuse comes to light. Forced to confront painful memories, the women’s secrets and lies collide in a shattering, unbearably moving climax in a cat sanctuary. From the bestselling author of Notes from an Exhibition, told in the very different voices of its three female characters, The Cat Sanctuary is an ultimately redemptive tale about family and forgiveness and the love and steadfast devotion needed to find grace.
