These three come alive more convincingly because of this diversion from the stereotypical norm. As a result we witness perilous situations causing emotive responses that are difficult to hide or countermand while making the romantic element more credible too. Oh and there will be tears so tissues at the ready.
We may realise at the halfway point that one thread of the story line can only go in one direction but this matters not in the slightest. In fact the book's own blurb sums it up. An ''enthralling evocative read'' it most definitely is and the just as good news is that ''[[The French Promise''by Fiona McIntosh|The French Promise]], a sequel featuring the surviving characters, comes out later in 2013.
If you enjoy a French twist and fancy another novel that includes a wartime motif, we definitely recommend [[Paris by Edward Rutherfurd]].
