Summary

Postwar Paris is alive with optimism, but lavender keeper Luc Ravens and his love, Lisette, remain haunted by the horrors they have endured. Casting their fate to the winds, they set sail for Australia, hoping to rebuild their lives in a land that's full of promise. But trouble has a way of catching up with them.

When an eager young law student discovers a secret family connection with the Ravens on the other side of the world, he finds himself holding the key to his own future and to Luc's troubled past. Luc must return to France to fulfil the promises by which he has been bound - only then can he lay to rest the ghosts of years gone by so that they all might live and love again.

Narrator

The Narrator made this book! Amazing accents and being able to swap in and out of character. This story broke my heart, but made up for it at the end. An amazing second book to 'The Lavender Keeper.' Absolutely loved it!

Great follow up to the Lavender Keeper

Listened to this as a follow up to The Lavender Keeper and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed both audio books. I really like the way the author introduces each character and then weaves their stories together. Both books kept me interested right from the beginning and left me listening into the wee small hours. Will definitely look for more by this author.

Enjoyable, second book

Heartbreaking at times, but a really good read. If you like family stories, retribution, good versus evil and a little about the war, then this is the book for you. I really enjoyed both books in this series and I’m a sucker for a happy ending.

Wow what a great introduction to Fiona MsIntosh

I found this book rather like a plait of hair, all the different strands slowly being woven into a beautifully finished plait.
