The Darkest Hour by Barbara Erskine
From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes an epic tale of love, passion and heartbreak. In the summer of 1940, eyes are focussed on the skies above the South of England: the Battle for Britain has just begun. But Evie Lucas has eyes for no-one but a dashing young pilot called Tony. Evie has a glittering career as an artist ahead of her but seems only to be fascinated in sketching portraits of him… Seventy years later, recently widowed art historian Lucy is putting the pieces of her life back together, and to do that she needs to uncover the mystery surrounding a painting in her home. As Lucy ties up the loose ends of one lifetime, she stirs up a hornet’s nest of history in another. Suddenly, Lucy finds herself in danger from people past and present who have no intention of letting an untold truth ever surface. Some stories are buried in the darkness forever. Some are just waiting to be told… Readers LOVE Barbara Erskine: ‘Atmospheric’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Enthralling’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Spellbinding’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Another fabulous read from the mistress of the genre’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Immensely and deeply immersive fiction’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I loved every minute’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘An exceptional writer of great books’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘You can rely on this author to keep you wanting more’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A joy to read’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Captivating and engrossing’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Praise for Barbara Erskine:
