The Escape

A compelling wartime drama for fans of Lucinda Riley and Dilly Court ''Yet another gripping , moving and impeccably researched read'' Jill Mansell, author of This Could Change Everything One winter morning in Germany in early 1945 , Detta passes a group of exhausted British prisoners of war who are being force-marched westwards.

Miranda is a photography student in Berlin in 1989 as the Wall falls. Trapped in an abusive relationship, her one hope for escape is an old postcard of the village her grandmother, Detta, was born in.
