Autor Carol Drinkwateren Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mar 2018
A LOVEREADING BOOK OF THE YEAR
Since her teenage daughter went missing four years ago, Kurtiz Ross has blamed and isolated herself. Until, out of the blue, Lizzie is sighted in Paris.
But within hours of her arrival, Kurtiz sees the City of Light plunged into terror.
Amid the fear and chaos, a hand reaches out. A sympathetic stranger offers to help a terrified mother find her daughter.
The other woman's kindness - and her stories of her own love and loss in post-war Provence - shine unexpected light into the shadows.
The night may hold the answers to a mystery - but dare Kurtiz believe it could also bring a miracle?

Recenzii
Ranging
across
time
periods
this
is
a
story
to
savour,
complete
with
wonderful
settings
stretching
from
Paris
to
the
occupied
territory

West
Bank,
and
to
the
glorious
countryside
of
southern
France
and
La
Côte
d'Azur.
Most
of
all
I
enjoyed
the
descriptions
of
France,
particularly
the
'wild
heady
scents',
the
sloping
vineyards
and
the
olive
groves
of
the
south.
I
felt
I
was
breathing
the
fragrant
air
and
eating
dinner
beneath
the
stars
