Description
London, 1940. When Jess Gresham arrives in the capital, she's completely out of her depth. With bombs falling and a heartbreaking family lie about her beloved sister to get to the bottom of, can she find the help she needs at a Mayfair lodging house? When Jess discovers the letter from her older sister Charlotte tucked into an old typewriter, her world is shaken. It's dated two days after their father, the vicar, said she died. How could he lie about that? Desperate to uncover the truth, Jess must find her sister. The London location in her sister's letter is her only clue... Leaving her quiet life in the country as a vicar's daughter behind, now Jess is in the city in wartime, her gasmask slung around her shoulder. Her one refuge is her room at a Mayfair lodging house with two other girls. Wealthy Betony is all style and charm, but she's trying to shake her aristocratic airs and graces. Irish nurse Grace with her easy smile is much more down to earth, but Jess is certain she's keeping a secret... With war throwing the three girls together, can Jess's new friends help find her missing sister, despite the secrets between them? Or will they be torn apart for good? An totally emotional and gripping historical novel, perfect for fans of Jean Grainger, Lisa Wingate and Diney Costeloe.
