Produktbeschreibung

'A brilliantly moving historical novel' - 2020 Caledonian Novel Award panel

'Hearts don't grow old in the way the rest of a person does'

Isabelle doesn't know what has become of Émile since his accident. Besides, her life is so tense and fearful that she has little opportunity to think about their shared past, and the future they lost.

Letty knows her marriage to Émile is failing, but given her secret past and Émile's profound deafness, who else do they have but each other?

Leutnant Schreiber doesn't want to be in the army, let alone as part of the occupying Nazi force. He has little choice in this, however - or who he is destined to love, even if the consequences are devastating.

Émile may not hear trouble coming, but he always knows when it's on the way. And when German planes overhead disturb him from his beloved tomato plants, he senses life is about to change dramatically.

For everyone.

Taking place in the shadow of Hauteville House, Victor Hugo's former residence on Guernsey, this moving, lyrical novel is about wanting to hear and learning to listen to the truths that reside buried in our hearts.

Perfect for lovers of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, All the Light We Cannot See and Dear Mrs Bird.
