Book
September 1942. Esme Donaldson is still grieving the devastating loss of her husband, Anthony, when she's forced out of her dream job by wartime budget cuts. Left with few options, Esme faces an uncertain future - until a chance encounter sends her to Redcliffe Manor, a grand estate deep in the Somerset countryside. There she's offered an unexpected role as the manor's librarian. As Esme settles in, she discovers the house is no ordinary country estate. The outbuildings have been requisitioned by American officers, while the house is sheltering a displaced girls' boarding school. And as the halls echo with the feet of giggling girls, the grounds hum with whispers of top-secret activities. When she meets a handsome American colonel, the attraction between them is instant. But Esme holds a secret that may ruin everything.
