Description
When Claudette Bourvil is recruited to the French Resistance the last thing she expects is that she will be sent to work in the heart of Paris to spy on senior Nazi officers.
Claudette learns how to survive in a city ravaged by war, where the citizens are murdered on the whim of the occupying force. Constantly under threat of discovery, and in danger of losing her life, Claudette risks everything when she falls in love with the wrong man, the worst kind of man.
Over seventy years later, in rural Oxfordshire, Connie Webber discovers seven letters linked to a famous playwright, Freddy March. The letters will eventually lead her to Paris where she discovers the horrific reason behind Freddy’s life long depression. As his mother’s story unfolds Connie uncovers a dark past that the city has tried to erase from history.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"I’ve read many novels, but The Seven Letters stands out for me as one of the best. I was involved with the mystery from the start and found the ending so moving. I read it it two sittings on holiday and would recommend it to anyone. The characters are very real and stay with you afterwards." - Paul Chantry

Amazing, heartbreaking story that gives insight into the lives of some women during WW2. The author did an amazing job connecting the lives of the characters across the decades. I loved this book!!
A truly excellent read. I was enthralled for the entire story, and even thought about it when I was going about my day. I wish more detail would have been given to Freddy such as why exactly he did what he did as opposed to him just dying of natural causes. It seemed out of place with this story. As well as Matt... I think he shouldn't have been as important as he was only to have him not be around for the last part of the story. All in all this was an excellent read, thank you so much for allowing me to read this wonderful book!
