Three women. A long-buried secret. The story that could free them all...

London, 1915 - Tarot reader Katerina is trying to hold her life together amid the wartime chaos. When she opens a bakery that offers divination alongside sweet treats, she is hailed as a beacon of hope. But Katerina is hiding a dark truth that could cost her everything.

Germany, 1918 - A mute British soldier is taken to a prisoner of war camp where he meets Miriam, a researcher. She is drawn to his gentle manner and secretly vows to help him. But soon she will have to make an impossible choiceβ€”will she save the one she loves, or herself?

Cornwall, Present Day - Recently widowed Edie is astonished to discover a mysterious box hidden in the wall of her newly renovated cottage. As Edie starts to investigate, she uncovers a secret that has lain hidden for over a century...

A long-held secret ties the tales of three women, from the cobbled streets of wartime London to an isolated German WWI camp, and the sea-swept cliffs of Cornwall. Beautifully told, moving, and unforgettable, this is The Story Collector.
