'Gunner unravels a skilfully woven tale into denouement with this long-awaited sequel to the award-winning 'An Orchid in Winter'. Jan Moran Neil 'This is a pacey (and occasionally racey!) romantic novel set during the German occupation in France. It seems to recreate, insofar as we can know, some of the tensions that must have existed between the invaders and the invaded and also within both groups.' Peter Keeble Amazon Customers: 'An echo of traumatic events in a small village in occupied France during the second world war; tense, dreadful to imagine, yet moving and with moments of light and human goodwill.' 'Refreshingly different from other books about the war, this grips and drags the reader along willingly, eager to follow the heroine Nanouche . I found it surprisingly poignant and very readable.' 'What happens next? I'm eager to read the next book.' 'A lovely, heart-warming story. I really hope there is going to be a follow up book! I want to know what happens next.!' 'A love story like no others, deep and passionate, where will it end? Cannot wait for the next book.' 'Gripping story and leaves you eager for a follow -up book.' Jennifer Laghi
