The House of Broken Promises

A SWEEPING AND EVOCATIVE NOVEL SET ON A TINY GREEK ISLAND, perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley, Victoria Hislop and Karen Swan.

'Pure and blissful escapism.' Lucy Clarke
‘Whisk away to Greece… the perfect escapist read.’ Veronica Henry
'Gripping and emotional' Milly Johnson
'Absolutely loved it' Cathy Bramley

When Victoria escapes New York for the Greek island of Folegandros, she hopes a new life there will heal her marriage and her heart. But she remains haunted by the absence of the child she never had.

Then Maria appears – a wild, fiercely independent eight-year-old with a fractured family. Her arrival will open Victoria’s heart. It will also reopen the story of a girl who hid on the island during the war, and the man who risked everything to protect her.

As she uncovers the island’s hidden past, Victoria must decide which is more important: a temporary escape – or a new home?
