The House of Broken Promises

Sweep away to Greece with this uplifting, escapist summer read, for fans of Lucinda Riley, Victoria Hislop and Karen Swan.

Sometimes we find love where we least expect it …

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?
