The Things that are Lost
Book description
The third book in Alan Kennedy's WW2 trilogy, The Things that are Lost takes up the story over a year after the events described in A Time to Tell Lies.
Following his disastrous encounter with John Cabot in Oxford, Alex finds himself posted back to the secret Torridon Training Centre - this time as teacher rather than pupil. His life becomes a kind of benign captivity, haunted by thoughts of Justine, who has made no response to his endless efforts to contact her. She has, quite literally, vanished.
His search for his lost love takes him finally to Paris in the dying days of German occupation.
The Things That Are Lost chronicles the efforts of two played-out SOE agents to rediscover each other. Set against the backdrop of the liberation of Paris in August 1944, they are aided by Madeleine, a woman haunted by the war-time compromises that have kept her alive.
A love story that explores one of the most shocking secrets of Paris under German occupation. A secret so disturbing that, even now, Parisians have decided it is best forgotten.
The book is available from Amazon as a Kindle download or as a paperback.
The paperback version will be available at a discounted rate on the Lulu website during the month of February, 2019. Navigate to Promotions for more details.
