What to expect
A secret held by too many generations…
1936. Brought up in Cornwall by her grandparents, Aster thinks often of her parents, who were taken from her at a tragically early age.

On her 21st birthday, Aster receives devastating news that turns everything she knew about herself upside down. Will she finally discover what really happened to her parents?
A heartbreaking story of love and hope, secrets and lies. Perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley and Fiona Valpy.
