The Lost Girl: A captivating tale of mystery and intrigue. Perfect for fans of Dinah Jefferies - Tapa blanda

Ranging across time periods this is a story to savour, complete with wonderful settings stretching from Paris to the occupied territory of the West Bank, and to the glorious countryside of southern France and La Côte d'Azur. Most of all I enjoyed the descriptions of France, particularly the 'wild heady scents', the sloping vineyards and the olive groves of the south. I felt I was breathing the fragrant air and eating dinner beneath the stars (Dinah Jefferies Number One Sunday Times bestselling author of The Tea Planter's Wife)
