Amid the terrors of war, one woman finds a place to hide her secrets
Set in London during the Blitz, in occupied France, and amid the rolling Chiltern hills, this is the story of two cousins thrown together by the outbreak of war.
Nell and Sylvie grow up quickly during the early days of rationing, blackouts, and the arrival of RAF planes in the skies. But even as the war rages on around them, the competition and jealousy between the cousins battles on - especially in romance. When the girls fall in love with the same man, he is spared having to choose between them. The machinations of war change the course of all their lives, with devastating consequences. For Nell, the only place she can ever find solace is inside the September Garden, her father's walled sanctuary. It is here that she decides to hide her most dreadful secret . . .
