A novel by

 
 
The paths of two different generations of women are fated to cross when researcher Rhiannon Harrowdine, fact-gathering for a book, traces the elderly widow of Battle of Britain pilot Harry Sartain. The Sartains once lived at Green Court, now an imposing country house health spa, and, at the time of the infamous Baedeker raids in 1942, were at the centre of a mystery that remained unsolved: the disappearance without a trace of a young student staying at the house.

As Rhiannon delves deeper, she uncovers layers of family history and other unexplained mysteries while, in her own private life, she struggles to balance the demands of two young children and a disintegrating marriage.

For the elderly Eveleen Sartain, the unexpected reopening of her distant, traumatic past is a first a painful and difficult experience. But the warm rapport she strikes up with Rhiannon breaks through a lifetime of reserve, opening the floodgates of bitter, hidden memories.
