The Englishman’s Daughter (Paperback)
Author: Kay Brellend
Format: Paperback
Torn between two nations, she will risk everything
Seventeen-year-old Elise Bouchard has always called Northern France home. But when her English father, Sidney Cooper, is captured by the Nazis, her world is shattered. Fearing for her safety, Elise is forced to abandon the only life she has ever known – her beloved grandmother, her brother fighting in the Resistance, and the comfort of her maternal homeland. With the help of Nathan Hawkes, a British soldier, she escapes from Dunkirk on a small boat, seeking sanctuary across the Channel where unknown family ties are her only hope.
Yet East London’s Silvertown is far from a refuge, and amid the chaos of war, Elise is plunged into a dangerous new reality when she is recruited as a spy by the Special Operations Executive. With her heart divided between two nations, Elise must summon all her courage to survive.
Suspenseful, atmospheric, and deeply moving, The Englishman’s Daughter is a gripping tale of love and resilience in the face of unimaginable odds.
