What to expect
Nestled into the pine-dusted coastline of the Cap d'Antibes is the dazzling white Chateau Violette. When British diplomat Lord Harry Castlemere, his young Jewish wife Daisy and their four-year-old son move into the chateau in the summer of 1938, their home becomes a beacon for the glamorous expat set - rife with gossip about the Windsors, and everyone in denial about the grumblings across the border in Italy and northern Europe.
But as Germany tightens its grip on Europe, Daisy discovers the chateau holds a dark past that could threaten her future. While she unravels the tragic secrets of the previous mistresses of Chateau Violette, war begins to rage across the continent, and soon, no one is safe - least of all Daisy...
