A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

July, 1810

The Peninsular war is in full swing.

Delphine Dalgleish is a Paris-bred Bonapartist who cares as deeply for the honour of France as she does for her island home on tropical Mauritius.

Sir Gideon Landor is a naval prisoner of war, who has every reason to consider her the enemy, especially when he commandeers her family’s yacht to escape back to England.

They expect never to meet again, but Gideon’s secret mission to decipher Napoleon’s military Grand Code forces them into a shock encounter on a Paris street.

In the seductively peaceful English countryside, they must recognise that they are both spies – on opposing sides of the war that Napoleon has unleashed on Europe.

As Sir Arthur Wellesley’s forces pursue the French across the Peninsula, Delphine and Gideon are trapped in a personal feud as complex and dangerous as a military campaign.

It will take them in the end to war-torn Portugal and Spain, menacing not only their lives but the armies of two nations.

Cheryl Sawyer pens a sweeping saga, beginning on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, a far-flung Bonapartist stronghold buffeted by the winds of war...

‘Oh what a find this author is! The Code of Love is set in Regency Mauritius, France and England, and is a very fresh take on a Regency-set historical ... This was a satisfying, well-researched and richly textured read. I’d also recommend THE CHASE by the same author.’ Books We Love (Or Not)
