Book description
It's the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, and Rachel and her aunt Evie are
celebrating with the crowds on the village green. The scene is tranquil,
but Rachel and her aunt can never forget what happened exactly
twenty-five years ago. On that day, Evie’s young daughter Jessamy
vanished. She hasn’t been seen since.
Soon after, news comes of Evie’s sudden death, and Rachel must return
to the village to deal with her aunt’s estate. The extraordinary story
she uncovers there will change everything. It is a story of departure
and return, of atrocity and betrayal, of unrequited love and the
dreadful legacy of war. Eliza Graham lives in the Vale of the White
Horse in Oxfordshire, with her husband, children and dogs.
