About This Book

'One of the best books I've read in a long time. I laughed and cried and didn't want it to end.' Goodreads review
It's 1941 and war has been raging for two years. Life has become very tough for Londoners. But for one person in Lavender Road the biggest challenge lies ahead.
Inspired by the courage of her friends and neighbours, Lady Helen de Burrel volunteers to join the highly secret Special Operations Executive, and puts her life on the line for the sake of her country. But in occupied France it's hard to know who to trust, and when traitors are involved, even love becomes doubly dangerous.
The war may have changed everything but one thing is certain, the people of Lavender Road will rally together whatever the future has in store.
