An island of secrets - Eva Glyn

For fans of Dinah Jefferies, Victoria Hislop, Lucinda Riley and Rosanna Ley, this is a stunning and sweeping WW2 novel that shows a side to the war not often seen before.

That was then

Seventy-five years ago, British SOE spy Guy Barclay was forced to leave behind the woman he loved in war-ravaged Yugoslavia.

This is now

As ninety-three-year-old Guy's days draw to a close, he asks his granddaughter, Leo Holmes, to go looking for answers. Given that her marriage has imploded and her City job is on the verge of killing her, Leo agrees and rents a house on the island of Vis, where her grandfather was stationed in the Second World War.

But as Leo's search takes her down unexpected roads - and into the path of a gorgeous local, Andrej Pintaric - she begins to wonder if this journey down memory lane might yield unexpected results for more than just her beloved grandfather
