Description

Torn between two nations, she will risk everything . . .

Seventeen-year-old Elise Bouchard has always called Northern France home. But when her English father, Sidney Cooper, is captured by the Nazis, her world is shattered. Fearing for her safety, Elise is forced to abandon the only life she has ever known - her beloved grandmother, her brother fighting in the Resistance, and the comfort of her maternal homeland. With the help of Nathan Hawkes, a British soldier, she escapes from Dunkirk on a small boat, seeking sanctuary across the Channel where unknown family ties are her only hope.

Yet East London's Silvertown is far from a refuge, and amid the chaos of war, Elise is plunged into a dangerous new reality when she is recruited as a spy by the Special Operations Executive. With her heart divided between two nations, Elise must summon all her courage to survive.

Suspenseful, atmospheric, and deeply moving, The Englishman's Daughter is a gripping tale of love and resilience in the face of unimaginable odds.

About Kay Brellend
Kay Brellend was born in north London and her first saga, based in the early twentieth century slums of Islington, was published in 2011. The opening novel in the Bittersweet Legacy trilogy came out in 2017. Published by Piatkus, this series was set in a London sweet factory and on the Somme battlefields. Kay's Workhouse to War trilogy was also set during the Great War, beginning in the Whitechapel Union Workhouse and moving to the bustling markets of East London, between 1914 and 1918. Now she's beginning a new trilogy with A Daughter's Heartbreak, inspired by true wartime events in the Silvertown area of East London. Kay writes with all the heart, grit and personal connection that distinguishes her as one of the most exciting voices in the saga genre.
