Carmel has always been alone. At forty, with no family to speak of, her marriage to a much older, emotionally distant man feels like victory—proof that someone, anyone, wanted her. She never had children, but then, nobody gets everything they want.
Then comes the Facebook message that could shatter everything. A stranger with information that might finally answer the questions Carmel has carried all her life—or destroy the only security she's ever known.
It could be a scam. It could be someone playing a vicious game.
But what if they're telling the truth?
Her finger hovers over the screen. Delete means keeping the cold comfort she's fought for. Reply means risking it all for a future that only exists in her dreams.

Jean Grainger is a USA Today bestselling author from Cork, Ireland. She writes engaging and intriguing Irish historical fiction as well as heart-warming contemporary novels frequently found on the Amazon bestseller lists. Her style has been compared to the late great Maeve Binchy, of whom she was a huge fan. Before writing she was a tour guide of her beloved Ireland, a history lecturer at a university and a teacher at a secondary school. (She also tried selling things but the less said about that the better). She loved all of those careers but has finally opted for spending most of every day in pyjamas making things up, surrounded by empty tea cups and crumbs. She lives in an Irish stone cottage and is married to a lovely fella altogether, has four magnificent children, and two micro-dogs that are cute but clueless.

Paperback. Etat : Good. In the sweltering Indian summer of 1870, a young Englishman is sent to Paris as Prussian invaders advance on the French capital with the largest siege army ever assembled. The City of Light is cut off from the outside world, the population trapped behind its tall ramparts. As the siege continues for a month, then a second, a hungering third, a frozen fourth and into a starved fifth, the Englishman, a stock young gentleman of his Victorian times, falls in love with a radical French enchantress who by chance saves his hide. The lovers' fate is entwined with those of a tormented French general appointed to defend Paris and an impatient Prussian grandee (Otto von Bismarck) hell-bent on bringing the 'capital of civilisation' to its knees. The unlikely love story turns upon true events that have shaken our world through to the present. Praise for David Lawday's recent book Danton: Giant of the French Revolution: Spirited and highly readable. Lawday creates some great set pieces and striking turning points. He is able to capture the atmosphere of the early revolution: its inflammable mix of devilment and righteousness, reckless selflessness and flagrant self-promotion. He sees that Danton was more than the sum of his crimes, the sum of his secrets; he celebrates his 'large heart and violent impulses in an irresolvable conflict'. Hilary Mantel, The London Review of Books. N° de réf. du vendeur CIN1914958829G
