The Orchard Girls
London, 2004. Frankie
didn't always have it easy. Growing up motherless, she was raised by her
grandmother, who loved her – and betrayed her. For years, the rift between them
seemed irreparable. But when their paths suddenly cross again, Frankie is
shocked to realise that her grandmother is slowly losing control of her memory.
There is a darkness in her past that won't stay buried – secrets going back to
wartime that may have a devastating effect on Frankie's own life.
Somerset, 1940. When seventeen-year-old Violet's life is ripped apart
by the London Blitz, she runs away to join the Women's Land Army, wanting
nothing more than to leave her grief behind. But as well as the terror of enemy
air raids, the land girls at Winterbourne Orchards face a powerful enemy closer
to home. One terrible night, their courage will be put to the test – and the
truth of what happened must be kept hidden, forever . . .

Author Bio
–
Nikola Scott started out in book publishing
and worked as a crime fiction editor in America and England for many years.
Turning her back on blood-spattered paperback covers and dead bodies found in
woods, she sat down at her kitchen table one day to start her first novel — and
hasn’t stopped writing since. Obsessed with history and family stories
(‘How exactly did you feel when your parents gave the house to your
brother?’) she is well-known – and feared – for digging up dark secrets at
dinner parties and turning them into novels.
Her first two books, My Mother's
Shadow and Summer of Secrets, have both been international
bestsellers and were translated widely around the world. Nikola lives in
Frankfurt with her husband and two boys (and a kitchen table).
Once a month, Nikola sends out a popular
newsletter about writing, reading, book news, freebies and loads of therapeutic
baking. Join in here if you’d love to be a part of it all: bit.ly/NikolaScottNews
