Resistance is growing among the roses...
France, 1941. Colette kneels among the roses she’s growing for Nazi officers. A fugitive resistance fighter hides in the shed. German soldiers pass by the gate; calmly she snips a stem. Because Colette is not just a florist, and this is not only a garden. She is a spy for the Resistance; these flowers are her disguise. And in her apron pocket are folded pages that would cost her life if discovered...
Present day, France.Marianne’s spade strikes metal beneath the overgrown community garden, where she is recovering after illness turned her life upside down. Her heart beating wildly, she pulls free a rusted tin box buried under the roses. Inside are brittle pages, hidden for decades in the soil.
The cramped writing takes Marianne’s breath away: it reveals the beginning of a buried wartime secret. Soon she realises the garden was never just a place to grow beautiful flowers. Here began a story of betrayal and resistance.
And when she uncovers the truth, it will change everything…
The Secret Wartime Gardenis a gripping dual-timeline historical novel of resistance, bravery and buried secrets. Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Kristin Hannah, Fiona Valpy and The Alice Network.
