From the bestselling author of The Legacy, comes an unforgettable novel exploring guilt, love and confronting the truth.
April, 1942. Amid the chaos of a night of bombing in Bath, six-year-old Davy Noyle goes missing. Frances Parry, looking after him at the time, is tortured by guilt and refuses to believe that he’s dead.
