Reviews

This is such a detailed and well painted picture of what life must have been like during the German occupation. I love the way Dinah has such a skill at bringing her characters to life. They are stuck in France and so can’t go to England but they are stuck in a strange situation as being only half French, they feel they are going to have extra problems living in France during war time. One works for a doctor, another has a cafe and the third is a homemaker.

The first in what I can say is going to be one fine series. until I found out there is a sequel, ‘ The Hidden Palace’, so it’s definitely going on my reading list!

I loved the story about the three sisters. This novel is multilayered and well structured, detailing the horrors of war but also the touching human moments. Three sisters, half French and half English who are left alone to care for themselves.

Picturesque writing which transported me to Nazi occupied Dordogne and into the cottage sharing the dreams and burdens of the girls’ lives. I can’t imagine what life must have been like living in such a situation.
