The French Promise: 2

Bol

A love forged in war. A promise that crosses oceans.England, 1951: Lavender farmer Luc Ravens--a former French Resistance fighter--and his beloved Lisette, a one-time British spy in France, have escaped to England. The war is over but its horrors still haunt them. Casting their fate to the winds, they set sail for Australia, hoping to rebuild their lives and plant new lavender fields full of promise. Yet tragedy will test them beyond anything the war demanded.Young law student Max Vogel is struggling with a loss of his own when his dying mother presses a battered shoebox into his hands--letters from the father he never knew. A long-held family secret links him to Luc on the other side of the world. He holds the key to Luc's troubled pas--and Luc may be the only man alive who can tell Max the truth about his father. Max's search will bring them both to Paris--and draw Luc back to Provence to fulfil a dangerous promise of revenge by which he has been bound--to his beloved Lisette, to his family, and to the one man responsible for ripping so much from his life. With the future generation of lavender keepers in his care, Luc must lay to rest the ghosts of years gone by so that they all might live and love again.From the south coast of England to the rugged farmland of northern Tasmania and the lively streets of postwar Paris, The French Promise is the sweeping sequel to The Lavender Keeper from million-copy bestselling author Fiona McIntosh.
