‘Oh my God, what’s happening to me? After all this time, please, not
again!’
Jeanne Le Page, gripped by fear and panic, struggles to breathe as the
ferry arrives in Guernsey – the island she had fled fifteen years before,
traumatised by a family tragedy.
Now she has to return after another death. Her beloved
grandmother has bequeathed Jeanne her old cottage. She intends to stay just
long enough to sell her inheritance. Deeply unhappy after the recent end of a relationship,
she has no desire to pick up her old life in her birthplace.
Jeanne is shocked to find that the cottage holds a secret
going back to the German Occupation. She becomes drawn into learning more,
delaying her planned departure. At the same time, while unveiling the truth of what
happened to her family, she puts herself in mortal danger.
Jeanne has to relive the tragedy as the ghosts continue to
haunt her. But over time the island works its magic, encouraging her to live
and love again . . . .

Anne Allen lives in Devon, by her beloved sea. She has three children and her
daughter and two grandchildren live nearby. She was born in Rugby, to an
English mother and Welsh father. As a result she spent many summers with her
Welsh grandparents in Anglesey and learnt to love the sea. Her restless spirit has meant a number of
moves which included Spain for a couple of years. The longest stay was in
Guernsey for nearly fourteen years after falling in love with the island and
the people. She contrived to leave one son behind to ensure a valid reason for
frequent returns.
By profession Anne is a psychotherapist but has long had
creative ‘itches’, learning to mosaic, paint furniture, interior design and
sculpt. At the back of her mind the itch to write was always present but seemed
too time-consuming for a single mum with a need to earn a living. Now the nest
is empty there’s more time to write and a second novel is gestating, but novels
take a lot longer than children to be born!
Anne, that is a terrific hook for a book!
