An island of secrets. A runaway. And a promise. . . A rebellious daughter 1925. Among the ancient honey-coloured walls of the tiny island of Malta, strangers slip into the shadows and anyone can buy a new name. Rosalie Delacroix flees Paris for a dancer' s job in the bohemian clubs deep in its winding streets. A sister with a secret 1944. Running from the brutality of war in France, Florence Baudin faces a new life. But her estranged mother makes a desperate request: to find her vanished sister, who went missing years before. A rift over generations Betrayals and secrets, lies and silence hang between the sisters. A faded last letter from Rosalie is Florence' s only clue, the war an immovable barrier - and time is running out. . .

Dinah Jefferies began her career with The Separation, followed by the No. 1 Sunday Times and Richard and Judy bestseller, The Tea-Planter' s Wife. Born in Malaysia, she moved to England at the age of nine, and went on to study fashion design, work in Tuscany as an au pair for an Italian countess, and live with a rock band in a commune in Suffolk. In 1985, a family tragedy changed everything, and she now draws on the experience of loss in her writing, infusing love, loss and danger with the seductive beauty of her locations. She is published in 29 languages in over 30 countries and lives close to her family in Gloucestershire.
