Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
When her widowed father marries a woman she hates, Leonie Harcourt, 17, is sent to her mother’s family in Paris. She loves it there, and is just beginning to fall in love when she is told she must return to England. It is 1939, and her father knows that France is not the place to be with war imminent. Leonie returns, but is determined to hate it until she sees her beloved artist, Luc Gosselin, again. He comes to England to train before returning to France to fight in the resistance. He sleeps with Leonie and leaves her with a child, along with a locked suitcase for safekeeping. What seems an end is only a beginning as we follow Leonie through her life while she comes to love Somerset and the people there. It’s only toward the end of her days, when Luc’s family once again appears, that the circle of life is complete in Stewart’s touching, engrossing account of one woman’s journey. --Maria Hatton
