Three women. Three generations. Sacrifices for love
Who is she really? Nicole is about to find out as she searches for her real mother; the woman who gave her away at birth. With her marriage in tatters, she sets out from England: travelling to Spain, Jersey and Guernsey before the extraordinary story of her real family is finally revealed.
Nicole becomes an unwitting catalyst for change in that family. Two women are forced to reveal long-buried secrets. One going back as far as the Second World War. Lives are transformed as choices have to be made and the past laid to rest
An ideal setting for a story that reflects on three generations of a family.
There’s a beautiful balance between the idyllic setting of the Channel Islands and a story of turmoil and emotions between the family members.
Jersey and Guernsey are of course small islands made up of close-knit communities. The best places to find someone you lost contact with years earlier. However, in such a small place, what happens when you find your family again, relatives and all, and old secrets come to light.
This is a novel of discovery for Anne Allen literally drives you through the streets and popular local haunts of the island, not the tourist-traps you would see elsewhere. This is an author who know and loves the island, and it shows.
