THE DARKEST HOUR by BARBARA ERSKINE pub 2016 . I have always enjoyed this author , & shes often overlooked , but I think this is her best book yet .

The truth doesnt always lie in the pages of the history books .In the summer of 1940, eyes are focussed on the skies above the South of England ; the Battle for Britain has just begun .

But Evie Lucas has eyes for no- one but a dashing young pilot called Tony .Evie has a glittering career as an artist ahead of her but seems only to be fascinated in sketching portraits of him...

Seventy years later , recently widowed art historian Lucy is putting the pieces of her life back together , & to do that she needs to uncover the mystery surrounding a painting in her home . As Lucy ties up the loose ends of one lifetime , she stirs up a hornets nest in another .Suddenly, Lucy finds herself in danger from people past & present who have no intention of letting an untold truth ever surface .

Some stories are buried in the darkness forever. Some are just waiting to be told ... THE ADOPTION by ANNE BERRY pub 2012 An unwanted baby , a childless couple a family full of secrets . Barefoot I pick my way across the rough floorboards to where a drawer lined with a quilt serves as a crib . Kneeling as if at a chapel , I gaze down at my babe in her makeshift manger . I must not touch her .When I look I must not touch . When I touch I must not look .In this way Mam says no bond will form . Having falken pregnant to a German POW , a young woman gives up her child for adoption . Years later after a loveless childhood, her daughter will finally discover the secrets of her birth.

This is a real heart- in - the - mouth story.
