A wartime secret. A family torn apart. A truth that refuses to stay buried.
London, 2004: Frankie’s childhood was shaped by love—and betrayal. Raised by her grandmother, Violet, she never expected to see her again after years of estrangement. But when Violet’s memory begins to slip, so do the carefully guarded secrets she’s kept hidden for decades—secrets that could change everything Frankie thought she knew.
Somerset, 1940: Seventeen-year-old Violet joins the Women’s Land Army, hoping to escape the grief of the London Blitz. But life at Winterbourne Orchards is not as safe as it seems. As the terror of war looms, the land girls face a far more personal threat, leading to a night of devastation they can never reveal.
A beautifully woven tale of love, loss, and long-buried secrets, The Orchard Girls is perfect for fans of Kate Morton and Rachel Hore.
