The Promise

More about the book

When Nell Summers stumbles across a photograph in her late father's belongings, the faded image of a young soldier leads her to question everything she knows. Drawn to Cornwall in search of answers, a neglected garden and crumbling Second World War fortifications offer some explanation, but does anyone remain who might remember the truth? And whose promise was broken with devastating consequences? As her world turns upside down, Nell must face her own past and confront secrets deeper and darker than she could ever imagine
