Read by Miranda Raison (Lessons in Chemistry)

Unlocking the past is the key to the future . . .

From Lucinda Riley, the international bestselling author of The Seven Sisters series, The Light Behind the Window is a breathtaking historical romance about love, war and, above all, forgiveness.


South of France, present day.

After the death of her glamorous, distant mother, Emilie de la Martiniéres finds herself alone in the world – and sole inheritor of her grand childhood home. A notebook of poems leads her to search for the mysterious and beautiful Sophia, whose tragic love affair changed the course of her family history. As Emilie unravels Sophia's story, she embarks on a journey of discovery, realizing that the château may provide clues to her own difficult past.

Paris, 1943.

Constance Carruthers, a young office clerk for M15, is drafted into a special operations team, arriving in occupied Paris during the climax of the conflict. Separated from her contact in France, she stumbles into the heart of a wealthy family who are caught up in a deadly game of secrets and lies. Forced to surrender her identity and all ties to her homeland, Constance is drawn into a complex web of deception, the repercussions of which will affect generations to come . . .

Absolutely loved this book! Have read most of Rileys books and they are brilliant but I found this one to be one of the best. There were a few things I had already guessed before they were revealed but that didn't detract from the story. So beautifully written. She always takes you on a journey which you can't stop listening too. The narrator was also very good and I enjoyed listening to her read the story.

I can’t count how many of Lucinda’s books I’ve read now, but this story line of love, heros and villains made it a real page turner. I also enjoyed the narration which was quietly subtle and never exaggerated. Just sorry I’ve finished it.

Love the different timelines
