A Long Way From the Trocadero

London, 1941. The Blitz has left the city battered, its people weary, and its streets littered with untold stories. For India Hood, owner of Hood's bookshop in the fictional town of Medwell, life takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon a painting in a London second-hand shop- a painting that vanished during the Great War. This discovery soon becomes a quest that forces India to confront the ghosts of her past and question the roles of choice, fate, and destiny. This sweeping historical novel transports readers to the heart of wartime Britain, where resilience and friendship shine amidst the shadows of loss and uncertainty. From the bustling streets of London to the quiet solace of the Cornish coast, A Long Way From the Trocadero intricately weaves a tale of love, war, and the enduring strength of women.
