'A gripping series. I've loved every one and this latest is no exception!' Rosie Goodwin
THE NEW BOOK FROM THE RNA WINNING AUTHOR
Malta, 1941.
A tiny island sits at the heart of the Mediterranean - and at the tipping point of the Second World War. As bombs rain down, beneath the ancient stone of Valletta's fortifications, a young nurse tends the wounded in the darkness. But Faith Simcock has a deeper connection to Malta. Before she left her home in England her parents dropped their own bombshell: she was adopted and her birth mother is Maltese.
With only a rusty old tin of photographs from her great aunt, Faith is drawn into a search for her past. Torn between a growing attraction to a guarded doctor and her longing to uncover the truth of her origins, she must navigate a world under siege. As the island is relentlessly blasted by bombs and the residents face starvation, Faith must find the courage to survive. . . and to find out where she belongs.
Faith's War is a gripping tale of endurance, love and impossible choices in the darkest days of war.
Praise for Shirley Mann:
'Suffused with extensive research, as well as secrets and sympathy' Mollie Walton, author of The Shopgirl of Ironbridge
'This is an assiduously researched book, written with heart and love. Shirley's writing transports you to an infinitely kinder, gentler way of life. Readers will devour it' Kate Thompson, author of The Wartime Book Club
'A gripping saga full of real history, heart and immense courage' Lancashire Evening Post
