Description
A daughter's quest for truth uncovers a decades-old mystery and family secrets in this gripping historical novel. In 1958, Esme sets out to research a case that has haunted her family for years - the conviction of Clara, a housemaid accused of murder at the end of World War II. As Esme delves into the past, she also uncovers stories about her own mother's life and the choices she made. A parallel narrative follows another woman, Jane, who was devastated by loss in 1915 and went on to build a new life in London. Both women are forced to confront painful decisions and shocking discoveries that challenge their understanding of themselves and their families. A question emerges: can a lie be forgiven when the truth seems too much to bear? This absorbing novel explores the complex lives of two generations of women, weaving together parallel paths of love, loss, and redemption.
