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 . . .

I love all Lucinda Riley’s books.

This one is no exception. Miranda Raison read it beautifully. I was so pleased that there was a lovely ending instead of being left to guess.

Wow!

I loved everything about this book. An incredible story taking the reader backwards and forwards through some of the horrors of the second World War and the brave men and women who sacrificed themselves for others and the continuing story set in the late 90s...Excellent narration too...I look forward to more stories by this talented writer.

Truly wonderful

What a wonderful book to read. I love all of Lucinda Riley’s books and again this one has not been a let down. Although I kind of guessed a few things would happen, I didn’t think that the twists in the last few chapters would be what they were, but what a delightful ending.
I absolutely loved it all ! 🥰
