Summary

A new sweeping historical novel of World War II from the international bestselling author of The Tea Planter’s Wife

France, 1944.

In an old stone cottage, on the edge of a beautiful French village, three sisters long for the end of the war.

Hélène, the eldest, is trying her hardest to steer her family to safety, even as the Nazi occupation becomes more threatening.

Elise, the rebel, is determined to help the Resistance, whatever the cost.

And Florence, the dreamer, just yearns for a world where France is free.

Then, one dark night, the Allies come knocking for help. And Hélène knows that she cannot sit on the sidelines any longer. But secrets from their own mysterious past threaten to unravel everything they hold most dear…

The first in an epic new series from the #1 international bestselling author, Daughters of War is a stunning tale of sisters, secrets and bravery in the darkness of war-torn France…

Daughters of war

A gritty narative with many twists very much of its time the cold bloody murder of the jewish people in very straitened circumstances. The girls and the way they looked after each other quietly helping others where they could. A very thought provoking story l am looking forward to the next book and the following one .

Another superb story from a fine writer.

I absolutely love Dinah’s writing. She makes me feel that I am there, I can almost smell the baking and hear the birdsong. Another very well crafted story and I am thrilled to hear that there will be a sequel later this year.
