<em>An island of secrets. A runaway. And a promise...</em><p><strong>A rebellious daughter</strong><br><strong>1925.</strong> Among the ancient honey-coloured walls of the tiny island of Malta, strangers slip into the shadows and anyone can buy a new name. Rosalie Delacroix flees Paris for a dancer's job in the bohemian clubs deep in its winding streets.</p><p><strong>A sister with a secret</strong><br><strong>1944.</strong> Running from the brutality of war in France, Florence Baudin faces a new life. But her estranged mother makes a desperate request: to find her vanished sister, who went missing years before.</p><p><strong>A rift over generations</strong><br><br>Betrayals and secrets, lies and silence hang between the sisters. A faded last letter from Rosalie is Florence's only clue, the war an immovable barrier - and time is running out...</p><strong>Praise for <em>The Hidden Palace</em></strong><p>'Completely swept me away to another place and time.
