Lavender Garden
Lucinda Riley/Moden
When young Constance is sent from London to occupied Paris by the English underground in 1943, she knows that she will have to use all her abilities and skills, and that the mission assigned to her is dangerous. But the reality she finds herself in is much worse, and she finds herself trapped in a tangled web of pretense and lies woven around the wealthy de la Martiniere family. In a city full of enemies, collaborators and spies, the most difficult task is knowing who to trust.
Years later, after the famous death of her mother in 1998, Emilie de la Martinière finds herself alone in the world, the last scion of a long and distinguished dynasty and the sole heiress of the manor house in the south of France where she grew up. A book of poems she finds leads her to the beautiful and mysterious Sophia, whose tragic love story has already affected her life without her knowledge, and is set to change it again.
'The Lavender Garden' is an inspiring historical novel about love, war, courage and forgiveness, and about three women who learned to listen to their hearts in a world full of moral dilemmas. This is another breathtaking book by Lucinda Riley, whose books, including the 'Seven Sisters' series, 'The Butterfly Room', and 'The Secrets of Helena', have enjoyed enormous success in Israel and around the world.
