If you loved Lullaby, you won't want to miss this latest offering from the international bestselling author.
Set in Morocco, 1968, the air is electric with change and possibility. Mathilde is determined to celebrate life. After dedicating her best years to the war and then to this farm, doesn't she deserve to? As she gazes over her elegant garden, Mathilde reflects on all she has achieved. In this newly independent country, intoxicated by its own sense of freedom, she yearns for a radiant future.
However, with her babies now grown up, Mathilde is about to discover that life can take wild and unexpected turns.
