  <default_description>Six months after her husband's sudden death, Leonora Galloway sets off for a holiday in Paris with her daughter Penelope.&#160;&#160;At last the time has come when secrets can be shared and explanations begin...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Their journey starts with an unscheduled stop at the imposing Thiepval Memorial to the dead of the Battle of the Somme near Amiens.&#160;&#160;Amongst those commemorated is Leonora's father.&#160;&#160;&lt;i&gt;The date of his death is recorded and 30th&#160;&#160;April, 1916.&#160;&#160;But Leonora wasn't born until 14th March 1917.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Penelope at once supposes a simple wartime illegitimacy as the clue to her mother's unhappy childhood and the family's sundered connections with her aristocratic heritage, about which she has always known so little.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But nothing could have prepared her, or the reader, for the extraordinary story that is about to unfold.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Possibly my most favorite contemporary author is Robert Goddard, a British mystery writer. He is a master storyteller and provides not only a twist at the end of the tale but keeps you twisting the whole way Goddard’s novels are spellbinding.
