A poignant story of the impossible choices we make in the shadow of war, for fans of Daisy Wood and Marius Gabriel. PRE-ORDER NOW.

1941. When Zofia's beloved husband Haru is conscripted into the Imperial Japanese Army, she is left to navigate Japanese-occupied Shanghai alone.

Far from home and surrounded by a country at war, Zofia finds unexpected comfort in a bond with Hilly, a spirited young refugee escaping Nazi-occupied Austria.

As violence tightens its grip on the Japanese-occupied city, they seek shelter with Theo, Zofia's American employer. But with every passing day, the horrors of war and Haru's absence begin to reshape Zofia's world - and her heart.

Can she still love someone who has become the enemy?

For fans of Lucinda Riley (The Seven Sisters), Ellie Midwood (The Girl Who Escaped from Auschwitz), Elizabeth St.John (Written in their Stars), Siobhan Curham (The Storyteller of Auschwitz), and Eoin Dempsey (The Longest Echo).
