International bestseller
'An epic tale ... A complicated entanglement of family secrets, love during wartime and dangerous liaisons. For fans of Maggie O’Farrell.'
Red Magazine
An epic story of wartime, family secrets and forbidden love, set against the stunning exotic backdrop of 1940s Kashmir.
Within one exotic land lies the secrets of a lifetime ...
Newlywed Nerys Watkins leaves rural Wales for the first time to accompany her husband on a missionary posting to India. Deep in the exquisite heart of Kashmir lies the lakeside city of Srinagar, where the British live on carved wooden houseboats and dance, flirt and gossip as if there is no war.
But the battles draw closer, and life in Srinagar becomes less frivolous when the men are sent away to fight. Nerys is caught up in a dangerous friendship, and by the time she is reunited with her husband, the innocent Welsh bride has become a different woman.
Years later, when Mair Ellis clears out her father’s house, she finds an exquisite antique shawl, a lock of child’s hair wrapped within its folds. Tracing her grandparents’ roots back to Kashmir, Mair embarks on a quest that will change her life forever.
'A superbly researched and vivid evocation of wartime Kashmir and Ladakh.'
The Daily Mail
'A spellbinding tale. Beautifully written, honest and compassionate…a delight from start to finish.'
The Daily Express
'A superbly written novel, marvellously descriptive and especially evocative of the war years ... a gorgeous treat.'
