An exciting new voice in historical fiction brings you a breath-taking story of how one woman's disappearance triggers the search of a lifetime. Perfect for fans of Victoria Hislop and Lucinda Riley, Fiona Schneider's debut is a triumph!


‘A sweeping, and heartfelt tale of love and sacrifice’ Amanda Geard, author of The Moon Gate

‘This is a heart wrenching story of love, bravery, and impossible choices’ Louise Fein, author The London Bookshop Affair

----

One Parisian night, a woman vanishes without a trace, leaving behind the man she loves.

Sixty years later, the search begins . . .

In 1942, French chef Sylvie Dubois is sent to Paris to spy on the enemy, while German soldier Christoph Baumann has sold his soul to save his sister.
When they meet the world stops turning. But in a city consumed by war, love is a dangerous affair, and the star-crossed lovers will pay the ultimate price . . .

Decades later, with Christoph’s health declining and his memory fading, his young protégé, Julia Clarke, sets out to discover what happened to the woman he never stopped loving.

Can they find the woman who disappeared, or will it be too late?
