Full synopsis

When Zara Keff is evacuated from London to Cambridgeshire in 1940, her extended family goes along too.

A model pupil, Zara relishes being in the thick of the local war effort, winning her school a prize for her tireless efforts on the home front. When tales of the suffering inflicted in occupied Europe begin to emerge, she is as horrified as any of her classmates. That horror is compounded by a shocking chance discovery, for Zara is not quite who she thinks she is.

A tender, thought-provoking book about love, lies, and identity, it weaves the complex tale of the century itself through the lifetime of Zara Keff.

Here's what readers have to say about this book....

Verity Walker Eley

I had the good fortune to read a pre-publication copy of this remarkable book. It's a moving, sometimes heart-breaking read, with beautifully drawn and unexpected characters and a satisfying ending, which will be a hit with anyone interested in historical fiction and memoir set in the turbulent period of WWII and its aftermath. I expect to see more in the future from this talented author.
