Seven wartime postcards. One hidden love story. A secret that spans generations.
When photographer Emma Walker discovers seven faded postcards tucked away among her late mother’s belongings, she has no idea they will change everything she thought she knew about her family.
Determined to uncover the truth, Emma follows the trail from San Francisco to the sun-drenched shores of Cyprus, where her grandmother Barbara once served as a Wren at the British naval base in Famagusta.
In 1943, Barbara’s life changed forever when she fell in love with a charismatic submarine officer. But wartime duty tore them apart, leaving behind only seven unsent postcards and a lifetime of unanswered questions.
As Emma pieces together Barbara’s poignant story, she finds herself drawn to Ethan, the novelist encouraging her to write the family history she’s uncovering. Yet, knowing how deeply love can be altered by fate, Emma wonders whether opening her heart is worth the risk.
Set against the backdrop of wartime Cyprus and present-day California, The Seven Postcards from Famagusta is a sweeping dual-timeline novel about love across generations, family secrets, and finding the courage to write your own ending.
Perfect for readers of Lucinda Riley, Fiona Valpy and Victoria Hislop.
