A SEASON OF LEAVES

In the chaos and darkness of war, the unimaginable can happen...

From the bombed-out rubble of Plymouth in World War 2, to a farm on the windswept cliffs of Cornwall. From a dark and violent passion to the dizzying ecstasy of secret love. From weary post-war England to the streets of Prague, seething with spies and informers. This is Rose Pepper's extraordinary journey, following her heart and the Czech soldier who is the love of her life. But ahead lie danger and betrayal, while awaiting her in England, with terrible patience, is the cold, controlling man she married.

A Season of Leaves is first and foremost a classic love story. But it is also a mystery, where the clues, in the shape of a bundle of unopened letters, discovered in Rose's old age, are waiting to lead her and her daughters back to the truth, buried for so long in Prague. Could going back and reliving the pain of lost love and its devastating aftermath be too much for Rose to bear? And dare she open Krystof's crumbling letters and come face to face with what happened to him? This is my first novel and is based on the true story of what happened to my great-aunt during the Second World War.

A Season of Leaves is now out in paperback - the perfect Christmas present.
