There is a family connection: her grandfather had been a British soldier during the Italian campaign of 1943 in that very area. Handed a bundle of letters that were found after the war, Briony sets off to trace the fate of their sender, Sarah Bailey. In 1939, Sarah returns with her mother and sister from India, in mourning, to take up residence in the Norfolk village of Westbury. There she forms a firm friendship with Paul Hartmann, a young German who has found sanctuary in the local manor house, Westbury Hall. With the outbreak of war, conflicts of loyalty in Westbury deepen. When, 70 years later, Briony begins to uncover Sarah and Paul's story, she encounters resentments and secrets still tightly guarded.

All three find refuge at 11 Bellevue Gardens, the shabbiest house of a smart white-painted Georgian terrace in North London.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Hore, Rachel<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>Rearsby : Clipper Audiobooks, 2016.<br />10 CDs (765 min.) : digital, stereo<br /><br />Hedge End - (HANTS) - Audiobooks : Adult Fiction - FICTION - Available - C015934740<br /> The house on Bellevue Gardens https://hampshire.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=2351306&CF=GEN <span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Hore, Rachel<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>Simon & Schuster, 2016<br />452<br /><br />Gosport DC - (HANTS) - Adult Fiction - FICTION - Available - C016281171<br />Hayling Island - (HANTS) - Adult Fiction - FICTION - Adult Fiction - Onloan - Due: 30 Oct 2024 - C016281283<br />Petersfield - (HANTS) - Adult Fiction - FICTION - Adult Fiction - Available - C016281139<br />Stubbington - (HANTS) - Adult Fiction - Available - C017192328<br />Stubbington - (HANTS) - Adult Fiction - Onloan - Due: 01 Oct 2024 - C017220290<br /> House on Bellevue Gardens, The https://hampshire.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=2358026&CF=GEN <span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Hore, Rachel<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>W F Howes, 2016<br />0<br /><br />Alton - (HANTS) - Adult Fiction Large Print - FICTION - Available - C015941280<br />Netley - (HANTS) - Adult Fiction Large Print - FICTION - Onloan - Due: 05 Sep 2024 - C015941283<br />New Milton - (HANTS) - Adult Fiction Large Print - FICTION - Available - C015941246<br />Waterlooville - (HANTS) - Adult Fiction Large Print - FICTION - Onloan - Due: 07 Sep 2024 - C015941247<br /> House on Bellevue Gardens, The https://hampshire.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=2358068&CF=GEN <span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Hore, Rachel<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>W F Howes, 2016<br />0<br /><br />Lymington - (HANTS) - Audiobooks Adult :Playaway - FICTION - Onloan - Due: 02 Oct 2024 - C015941388<br />Petersfield - (HANTS) - Audiobooks Adult :Playaway - FICTION - Repairs (Set: 19 Jun 2024) - C015941387<br />
