Goodnight from London by Jennifer Robson, author of Somewhere in France, is a story of a female American journalist covering the Second World War in London. It is an ode to the heroines of the War, of whom little is known. It is also a touching love story.
The Secret Wife, by Gill Paul, is a story that moves across the centuries, the past merging with the present. It blends fiction with historical fact. The novel is of the love affair between the Grand Duchess Romanov and a calvary man in the Russian army. The great granddaughter of this soldier discovers evidence in upper New York State of this love affair, and in doing so, unearths a long sought after mystery.
