Absolutely heartbreaking World War 2 historical fiction about love, loss and secrets
LORNA COOK lives in coastal South East England with her husband, daughters and a Staffy named Socks. A former journalist and publicist, she owns more cookery books than one woman should, but barely get time to cook. The Forgotten Village is her first novel.
“A coastal village abandoned in wartime, a haunting expression in
an old photograph, and a charismatic TV historian: from these raw
ingredients Lorna Cook creates an intriguing mystery that will keep
you wanting to read more.”
—GILL PAUL “A dual-narrative story set in a Dorset ghost village is
such a tantalising premise and Lorna Cook's lovely book absolutely
does it justice. I ended up so absorbed that I read it in a single
day.”
—KATE RIORDAN “Compelling, rich in detail and vividly told, The
Forgotten Wife explores love and its darker side against the
backdrop of a fascinating and little known slice of WW2 history.
Perfect for readers of Rachel Hore and Kate Morton.”
—NIKOLA SCOTT “A gripping tale of secrets and love… I loved
it.”
—LIZ FENWICK
