Book description
'Are you German or are you French? Are you working against Germany or
for it? Are you telling me the truth, or are you a very accomplished
liar?' Lavender farmer Luc Bonet is raised by a wealthy Jewish family in
the foothills of the French Alps. When the Second World War breaks out
he joins the French Resistance, leaving behind his family's fortune,
their home overrun by soldiers, their lavender fields in disarray.
Lisette Forestier is on a mission of her own: to work her way into the
heart of a senior German officer - and to bring down the Reich in any
way she can. What Luc and Lisette hadn't counted on was meeting each
other. When they come together at the height of the Paris occupation,
German traitors are plotting to change the course of history. But who,
if anyone, can be trusted? As Luc and Lisette's emotions threaten to
betray them, their love may prove the greatest risk of all. From the
fields of Provence to the streets of wartime Paris, The Lavender Keeper
is an extraordinary, moving story of action and adventure, heartbreak
and passion, devotion and treachery from an internationally bestselling
author. PRAISE FOR FIELDS OF GOLD 'McIntosh's narrative races across
