' Kirsty Manning has delivered yet again with this epic novel about women, love and heartbreak - The French Gift. With passion and sensitivity, Manning takes the reader on a journey that is near-impossible to tear yourself away from. I adore this author and this is without a doubt her finest work. A triumph!' Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of The Good Sister A forgotten manuscript that threatens to unravel the past . . . Fresnes Prison, 1940: Margot Bisset, a former maid from the Riviera, finds herself in a prison cell with writer and French Resistance fighter, Josephine Murant. Together, they are transferred to a work camp in Germany, where the secrets they share will bind them for generations to come. Present-day Paris: Evie Black lives above her botanical bookshop with her teenage son, Hugo. Nursing her broken heart, Evie receives an unexpected letter; she clutches at an opportunity to spend a magical summer with her son on the Cote d' Azur. It' s here, on the Riviera, that the past envelops them and Evie attempts to unravel the official story of a famous novelist. If she succeeds, a murder from a lifetime ago may be solved. Inspired by the true story of iconic French Resistance fighter, Agnes Humbert, whose secret journal shed light on a little-known aspect of World War Two, The French Gift will captivate readers from beginning to unforgettable end. Praise for The Lost Jewels:' A tale of transferred wealth, power, and passion, Manning' s novel will appeal to fans of Penny Vincenzi, Paula McLain, and Elizabeth Kostova.
