Penny Vincenzi's Sunday Times No 1 bestseller, FORBIDDEN PLACES is an unmissable novel about love and marriage, families and secrets, and about wartime and what it does to every accepted social value.
'Deliciously readable' Mail on Sunday.
It is the story of three women and one family. One is married and widowed within five years. She is free to start again. Or is she? The second has a perfect husband she thinks she loves. He becomes a grotesque parody of what he once was. Is that love real? The third becomes trapped in a nightmare marriage. Can the war free her?
Penny Vincenzi, who died in 2018, was one of the UK's best-loved and most popular authors, known for her epic period and contemporary novels.

She began her career as a junior secretary for Vogue magazine and went on to work at The Daily Mirror, Tatler, and later as a journalist and editor on magazines such as Woman's Own and Cosmopolitan. Over seven million copies of Penny Vincenzi's books have been sold worldwide and she is universally held to be the 'doyenne of the modern blockbuster' (Glamour).
