Someone had made a perfect job of creating a place in which to hide a notebook... there was no address, only a date: September 1943...

Ashcombe was the most beautiful house Saskia had ever seen as a little girl. A rambling cottage on the edge of a Suffolk village, it provided a perfect sanctuary to hide from the tragedy which shattered her childhood.

Now an adult, Saskia is still living at Ashcombe and, as a book restorer, devotes her days to tending to broken and battered books, daydreaming about the people who had once turned their pages. When she discovers a hidden notebookβ€”and realises someone has gone to a great deal of trouble to hide a story of their ownβ€”Saskia finds herself drawn into a heart-rending tale of wartime love.

The Dandelion Years by Erica James weaves a captivating story of past and present, and the lasting power of love.
