1940, England: A totally heart-rending, unforgettable and powerful story about love, wartime secrets, and betrayal. When a beautiful young woman named Anya decides to become a spy, it is entirely so she can escape a terrifying situation at home in war-torn Russia, where she fears for her life more with every day that passes. But then she finds herself sent to work as a land girl in a beautiful corner of England and she begins to make friends - ones she knows she cannot possibly betray. And she knows she's made a terrible mistake. The only person she can turn to is her fellow informer, Nikolai, and she finds herself impossibly drawn to his soulful blue eyes, his quiet intensity and his innate goodness. They both desperately want to join the fight against the Nazis and when they are told they can switch their allegiance, they start to believe their love might stand a chance. But no one can ever know their secret history, and being together is still dangerous. So they devise a plan. If circumstances mean they're ever separated, they will find their way back to each other. They just have to follow a series of secret coded messages they've left. Clues no one else could possibly understand. Starting with a small key, left in the place that has become most precious to them: the secret garden. Now, England: When Laura agrees to restore a beautiful garden in the grounds of an English stately home she sees the opportunity for a new start, away from heartbreak. But when she finds a box buried under the weeping willow tree, she is spellbound by its contents - a key and a cryptic note. As she begins to piece together the fragments of a love story that stretches across wartime Europe, Laura doesn't realise it, but she is embarking on an unforgettable journey. One which will change her own life forever. Absolutely unmissable historical fiction, perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen's The Victory Garden and Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale.
