Publisher's Synopsis
Having grown up on the quiet island of Guernsey, Betty Dean can't wait to start her new life in London. On a mission to find Clara Pickle - the beneficiary in her grandmother's will - she arrives in bustling and grungy 1990s Soho. In 1920s bohemian London, Arlette - Betty's grandmother - is starting her new post-war life, soon drawn into the hedonistic world of the Bright Young People. But less than two years later, tragedy strikes and she flees back to Guernsey for the rest of her life. As Betty searches for Clara, she is taken on a journey through Arlette's time in London, uncovering a tale of love, loss and heartbreak.
