The Forgotten Village

About this book

'I would give this book ten stars if I could. I read it within two days and just could not put it downā€¦ A real page turnerā€¦ Heart-wrenching and just fabulous. I can usually guess the ending of most books, but not this one' Goodreads review ?????

1943: The world is at war, and the villagers of Tyneham are being asked to make one more sacrifice: to give their homes over to the British army. But on the eve of their departure, a terrible act will cause three of them to disappear forever.

2018: Melissa had hoped a break on the coast of Dorset would rekindle her stagnant relationship, but despite the idyllic scenery, it's pushing her and Liam to the brink. When Melissa discovers a strange photograph of a woman who once lived in the forgotten local village of Tyneham, she becomes determined to find out more about her story.

But Tyneham hides a terrible secret, and Melissa's search for the truth will change her life in ways she never imagined possibleā€¦

An absolutely gripping and heartbreaking tale of the legacy of courage and sacrifice in wartime. Perfect for fans of Fiona Valpy, Dinah Jefferies and Kate Quinn.
