Il giardino dei labirinti segreti
Toscana, 1943. Beatrice è arrivata dalla Scozia carica di entusiasmo, pronta a trascorrere un anno da sogno tra le dolci colline italiane lavorando come insegnante di inglese. Ma l'arrivo della guerra ha mandato all'aria tutti i suoi piani. Bloccata in un Paese devastato, dove la sua nazionalità la rende una nemica, Beatrice viene accolta da Edoardo e Francesca nella Villa delle Colombe. La dimora, circondata da un intricato labirinto di cipressi che la protegge dagli orrori della guerra, offre rifugio a diverse famiglie in cerca di un riparo sicuro. Ma nascondersi diventa ogni giorno più difficile, e la sopravvivenza impone scelte estreme... Toscana, 2015. Dopo la morte del marito, Tess ha deciso di trascorrere un periodo in un posto che può proteggerla: la villa con il giardino di cipressi. Ora è una vecchia amica di sua nonna a custodirla, Beatrice, che con pazienza e amore prova a risanare le ferite di Tess. Ma ogni speranza di pace viene infranta dall'arrivo di Marco, il proprietario della tenuta, il cui unico interesse è cedere l'abitazione a degli avidi costruttori. Sconvolta, Beatrice si rende conto di dover rivelare il doloroso passato custodito dalle mura della villa. Riusciranno Beatrice e Tess a salvare i loro ricordi e la casa che tanto amano?.

The Dark of the Moon
‘The novel is well researched and full of fascinating information about codebreaking and the French resistance, and Finn’s voice makes it come alive.’ —Historical Novels Review ‘The Dark of the Moon is an involving and very touching read. It offers readers a fascinating exploration of a too-little-known element of Bletchley Park history and a moving personal story. The present day narrative interweaves cleverly with the past and I was gripped throughout.’ —Anna Stuart, author of The Midwife of Auschwitz ‘The Dark of the Moon is a dazzling and tremendously moving story about love, courage, and the importance of finding answers. Told from the points of view of ATA pilot and Bletchley Park codebreaker Philly Delaney and Finn, her friends’ young son who helps Philly as she tries to locate her husband’s final resting place, this gorgeous novel is both a tale of wartime daring and bravery as well as a tender exploration of grief. Fiona’s beautiful prose brings the characters and their struggles into vivid perspective and the settings in Britain and on sunny Île de Ré off the coast of France are wonderfully immersive. Atmospheric and thoroughly captivating, I couldn’t put it down!’ —Linda Wilgus, author of The Sea Child ‘The Dark of the Moon is a poignant, compelling and charming novel, taking us back to wartime France and immersing us in the work of the women pilots of the Air Transport Auxiliary and the codebreakers of Bletchley Park. Told through two distinct voices, and with a dual timeframe, I felt empathy for both narrators and willed Philly to find her much-needed “closure”. Well-researched and sensitively told, Fiona Valpy celebrates women’s courage and the behind-the-scenes heroes of wartime, while also giving us a tender and touching portrait of an intergenerational friendship.’ —Caroline Scott, author of The Photographer of the Lost ‘Fiona Valpy has written yet another captivating WWII novel, showing us the war through the eyes of a woman in her 90s. Cleverly weaving the past with the present, The Dark of the Moon is a thought-provoking and beautifully written historical story that I thoroughly enjoyed.’ —Soraya M. Lane ‘A captivating and poignant story of wartime bravery and enduring love, told with warmth and heart. Unforgettable.’ —Imogen Clark, bestselling author of In a Single Moment

The Sky Beneath Us
“A gifted storyteller with a unique voice. This is a beautifully written, uplifting, moving and evocative story that will stay with you! I loved it so much, I didn’t want it to end!” —Santa Montefiore “An immersive and moving story which will stay with me for a long time. Such a compelling sense of place and beautifully drawn characters, I savored every moment.” —Freya North “What an exquisite and unforgettable journey! I loved every shaky step, breathtaking vista, minute discovery and unexpected adventure in Katmandu, Edinburgh, Phortse and the north-west Highlands of Scotland with Daisy and her great-great-aunt Violet. Theirs are inspirational stories of love and hope lost and found as they courageously ascend paths unknown and welcome the unexpected. Meticulously researched and beautifully written with fascinating detail about botany, the Sherpa people and Nepal. As deeply satisfying as a clear view of a flower-filled valley from a mountain top.” —Penny Haw, author of Follow Me to Africa “A soaring tale sweeping from the romantic Scottish Hebrides to Mount Everest, her heroines, appropriately Violet and Daisy, find challenging adventures, personal bravery, love and the elusive Himalayan brilliant blue poppy sheltering in the mysterious Valley of Flowers, plus a typical Fiona Valpy unexpected twist in the tale. A glowing book.” — Ann Lindsay, author of Seeds of Blood and Beauty “ Spanning the charming landscapes of Scotland and the breathtaking peaks of Nepal, The Sky Beneath Us is an immersive, sweeping, and poignant tale about heartbreak, resilience, and a timeless bond forged between two generations through a shared love of the natural world.” — Archana Maniar, author of Dry Spells
