An epic yet heartbreakingly intimate novel of conflict and betrayal, and of the pain of lost love Kate Mosse A long-buried secret, a heart-breaking betrayal... Estelle never really knew her mother, Fleur, but is haunted by her legacy. A legendary resistance heroine in the Great War, she had helped Allied soldiers escape from Belgium - and was not alone in paying a terrible price. Christa s father was one of those Fleur saved - but he returned home a ruined man. So, when Estelle arrives on Christa s doorstep hungry for information about her mother, an intense and complex friendship is ignited. In 1939, as conflict grips Europe once more, Estelle follows her mother s destiny. Then Christa discovers that Fleur was betrayed by someone close to her and the truth may destroy them all... A beautiful, romantic and touching book. The prose is elegant and evocative and, McMahon s research is scholarly and meticulous Jonathan Lynn, film director Katharine McMahon is a historical novelist who can turn her hand to any period and bring it thrillingly alive. [The Hour of Separation is] very possibly her best and most powerful book so far Readers Digest Tender and painterly...rather beautiful Irish Times
