Reseña del editor:
Romance, suspense, and WWII mystery are woven together in three artfully linked novellas from Deborah Lawrenson, the critically acclaimed author of The Lantern.

THE SEA GARDEN
On the lush Mediterranean island of Porquerolles off the French coast, award-winning British landscape designer Ellie Brooke has accepted a commission to restore an abandoned garden. The beautiful estate overlooks the glittering sea, but Ellie begins to sense a lingering evil there. When the owner's very elderly mother, Madame de Fayols, begins telling stories of the Domaine's dark past, it gradually becomes clear that she has a very personal reason for wanting to destroy Ellie's peace of mind. Meanwhile, who is the mysterious war historian Gabriel who comes to her aid?

THE LAVENDER FIELD
When Marthe Lincel leaves the school for the blind in Manosque for an apprenticeship at the local perfume factory during the Second World War, she has no idea that the Distillerie Musset is at the heart of a Resistance cell operating in Nazi-occupied Provence. In the last desperate months of occupation, the Maquis resistants have gathered in the hills to launch their attacks. But as time runs out for the Germans, their reprisals become ever more brutal. When tragedy strikes, Marthe discovers she would do anything to help her new friends, even if it means putting her own life at risk.

A SHADOW LIFE
Iris Nightingale is a junior intelligence officer for SOE in London, the secret network operating in occupied France. When Xavier Descours, a French agent who organizes the liaison between the Moondrop flights and the Resistance, arrives in England, he and Iris begin a passionate affair. But after a secret landing in Provence results in terrible Nazi reprisals, Xavier goes missing and Iris determines to discover what happened to her lover-and it is not long before harsh accusations are made. Was Xavier who he claimed to be, or was he a double agent with Allied blood on his hands?

The connection between these narratives an underground passage of sorts, visible only to the reader lends this book an unexpected, additional layer of intrigue. The Sea Garden is a vivid and absorbing chronicle of love and loss in the fog of war, a penetrating and perceptive examination of the impulses and circumstances that shape our lives.
