Product Description
by Deborah Lawrenson (Author)
Interweaving three narratives, a story of love, mystery, and murder during World War II follows three courageous women--an award-winning British landscape designer, a young, blind perfumer's apprentice, and a junior British intelligence officer.
Front Jacket
Present day. On a lush Mediterranean island off the French coast, Ellie Brooke has accepted a commission to restore an abandoned garden. It seems idyllic, but the longer Ellie spends at the house and garden, the more she senses darkness, and a lingering evil that seems to haunt the place.
World War II. Two very different women have their lives irrevocably changed: Iris, a junior intelligence officer in London, and Marthe, a blind girl who works in the lavender fields of Provence and is slowly drawn in to the heart of the Resistance. As secret messages are passed in scent and planes land by moonlight, danger comes ever closer. . . .
