ABOUT THE BOOK:

When award-winning film maker Justine Nolan returns to her childhood home, she is intrigued by an envelope she finds in her absent mother’s post.

But the letter inside contains a shocking revelation.

If genuine it will change everything she believes about her family’s recent history, her mother and her adored grandmother, Gabriele.

With the support of her beloved twin brother, Richard, Justine resolves to uncover the truth.

To do so she must travel to Istanbul – the beguiling city on the cusp of East and West.

It is a place which holds its own secrets, leading her to a fascinating man who appears to know more than he is prepared to disclose.
